F9 FABRICATED HOUSING – MILD STEEL
The new Currie F9 housing includes our fabricated housing center that features a 3/16" thick Hi-Form 50 steel body, a 3/8" thick Hi-Form 50 steel 3rd. member mounting face, 3" x .250" wall tubes, and 9-Plus large bearing housing ends. Housing is custom built to your overall width and pinion offset specs. Unique to this design, the first bend in the fabricated housing center is centered with the center line of the axle tube. This allows the bend to be the point of lowest ground clearance, and the flats on the housing to provide maximum ground clearance at up to 20 degrees of pinion angle! Another unique feature are the welded in bulkheads inside the housing center that tie the face, the body, and the inner ends of the tubes all together. We machine a flat on one side of the inner end of the tube which allows it to key into the inner bulkhead before welding. Arguably the strongest Fab housing design to ever hit the market!
Sold each.

9-PLUS HOT ROD HOUSING
The popular 9-Plus Hot Rod Housing is similar to the early style 9-inch Ford stock housing, which is now nearly extinct. The 9-Plus model is made of premium grade forming steel with a slightly thicker gauge of steel for increased strength and rigidity. The ends are precision machined to accept a 3-inch O.D. x .188" wall tube. A machined chamber is supplied on each end of the Hot Rod housing to provide a good weld joint. This style of housing is very popular for street rods, or other space limited vehicles, due to the fact that the shape of the housing provides increased clearance for mounting brackets and the routing of exhaust pipes.

9-PLUS HEAVY DUTY HOUSING - STOCK STYLE COVER
9-Plus also offers a Heavy Duty Housing patterned after the later-style Ford 9-inch unit. However, the 9-Plus has been specifically formed to accept 3-inch O.D. tubes that will slide right in. The original Ford housings required a 3-1/4" diameter tube which is not compatible with many of the commercially available brackets commonly welded to the axle tubes. The 9-Plus Heavy Duty Housing is designed to permit the axle tubes to go into each side up to four inches. Slots are machined in the housing ends to provide additional welding contact. This housing is made of premium forming steel for wrinkle-free forming. This 9-Plus Housing is made of a slightly thicker gauge of steel than a stock 9-inch housing for more strength and stiffness, and a better base for welding brackets to the housing without distortion. This housing is commonly used in high powered street machines and professional racing applications.
