if you're going to keep running same rearend then buying a full spool would be better but if its temporary then a mini is sufficient.

The cheap mini spools break! Spend the money on the more expensive mini spool (using the stock pin) or buy a full spool. I have welded the crap out of 3 9-inch rears and eventually broke all 3! I have since ran 1 cheap mini spool (lasted 6 shows), 1 of the more expensive mini spools with the chrome-moly pin (broke the pin after 3 runs but spool was still useable-replaced with stock pin), and have since bought and ran 2 more of the expensive mini spools running with stock pins and havent had a rear gear problem in nearly 10 years. If I build another gear set I will most likely go with a full spool for a little added insurance.

I've only welded 1 9", ran it one time and it held up. Have used the mini spools for years and had good luck with them. Best tip I could give is if your swapping the rear from car to car make sure you go through and check it out every year. Had one come apart last year early in the heat,pretty sure it was already on it's way to being broke before we installed it. If your running stock motor and gears the mini spool will work, if the rest of your drive line is being built up as well spend the extra cash and pick up the full spool.
FORNEY00, I 100% agree with you on the stock pins.

Quenching anything after welding is a very bad idea. In fact the tool steel your gears are made of probably has high enough alloying that they were air cooled during their heat treatment before tempering. You'll be far better off to just let it cool slowly. I'm a Metallurgist at a commercial heat treater so not trying to blow smoke here.

There are a lot of variables, engine build, trans type, tire size, track size, track condition. You are going to rap rpm pretty fast. I had 5:83 in a hobby stock nine inch, i never ran them, and switched to 4:88 with a 25-850-14 tire. I am also running a 3speed on pretty small dry tracks. If that helps any.

worse then runnin a 10 bolt bia.... the 28 spline axles taper off real fast.. while a 31 spline 9" has a solid axles with very little taper and an overall larger diameter axle.... 10 bolts are alot easier to open the back up to fix... on a 9" you have to pull the whole 3rd member out... !... any specific question feel free to ask i just put a 28 spline rear together, the axles in it were not tapered at all, solid to the end like the 31 spling. It came out of a 64 galaxie
