so now the only thing i would need to figure out is the seal flange for the np231 cuz its a pre 96 model i have the cone type seal that would have to come off.
Any flat spot would do, like the fill plug

I wouldnt trust that at all,to many variables plus he's got an aftermarket cover.No. The yoke angle will be the same is the full plug. Just use it.
Yeah I understand that, what I was talking about was building my own hack and tap kit and what to use for the seal of the output shaft on the t case
he is talking about transfer case angle - both of them are as far as I can tell. So yes, the fill plug is a fine reference point.I wouldnt trust that at all,to many variables plus he's got an aftermarket cover.http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoSYEconversion.htm

Unless they went out of their way to make it not true, it will be true - the casting for the housing is generally milled flat on one surface and that is used as a mount/clamping reference while all the other milling is done. I would be shocked if it was more than a fraction of a degree off.I still wouldn't trust that either,its not like the plug or the threads are machined to be true to the output shaft.Throw the angle finder on the valve cover.
GoJeep said:To seal the end of the housing, ( for pre 96 models ) I bought the RE1801 kit which gave me the seal housing, drill bits and tap. I then sold it all off minus the seal housing as a 1807 kit to someone with a 96+ Jeep. I have since found out you can buy just the seal housing from Rubicon Express but even better is that Eric Salsman made his own shown above after following this write up to do the conversion. The benefit with his is he made it to take the standard output seal so no problems finding a replacement. He can be contacted for the seal housing as is making some more to sell for others. Will post world wide and be cheaper than buying the RE housing.
