Sell it to and AWD guy and buy a DOA VCU to weld.

That's a good point Alan. From the design it honesly wouldn't be to hard to make something in the center diff to eliminate the VCU and planet gears altogether for FWD cars. It would just take alittle machining. If I had another center Diff and output shaft sitting around, my Air Force friends in Metals Tech could do it in no time. But it wouldn't really be cost effective since welding the VCU is free. You would have to buy another part to make it work. Maybe there is a way to use FWD parts and alittle welding to eliminate the VCU... Let's put our heads together and figure it out. FWD guys don't need a VCU --- AWD it's a must. We'll find a solution. I'm sure it won't take long!!!!
