Of course you have to change the rear axle as well. The AMC 20 for the TT cars doesn't lend itself to open conversion. There is a seal holder that can be bolted on without the tube, but I'm not sure the yoke from an open drive car will match the splines and size of the pinion shaft, and the pinion shaft isn't drilled for a bolt. You could always drill the yoke for a big set screw or two if it's just a cruiser, but that's if the yoke will even fit. Then you have to find a yoke too. 


Cut the splined coupler off the torque tube drive shaft, weld it to the yoke of your choice, use a pipe threading tool to cut tapered threads on the OD of the coupler. Slit the coupler.  Cut a pipe coupling in half and use it to clamp the yoke to the pinion. 

Just kidding!

If someone did this they would have made a 'big nut rear axle'!
