Been looking for some 9 bolt friction cones and naturally searched found 9bolt a while back, but now as I get closer to my nine bolt swap I can't seem to find there site anywhere. It just comes up as saying it can't load the page. Are they still in business?

Re: 9bolt.com

Probably not.

Just about all 9 bolt parts need to come from Australia. You might have better luck finding a parts vendor from Australia to get anything for it. Since the 9 bolt was only offered for a few years in third gens and only in a few models, there isn't a huge demand for parts in North America.

Re: 9bolt.com

Good luck finding repair kits for a worn out cone posi. You might have to contact Borg Warner or Eaton.

Although it's not listed as for a third gen, this should be the same BW diff. The GTO is an IRS 7.75" BW diff. You'll have to do your own research but I can't see why this wouldn't fit the third gen solid axle BW diff.

Brand new helical posi for a 7.75" Borg Warner 9 bolt.

Damn, bought a gearset from them not more than two months ago. Hope they really haven't plowed under.

Re: 9bolt.com

The GTO differential is a little different. I've had them both apart and they don't use the same parts.
