Re: [Chevelle-list] Parts
I was always told that it couldn't be done without machine work. According to the specs at Markwilliams.com it states "Requires simple milling operation" 12 Bolt Steel Replacement Main Cap (ea) One of the most common causes of rear end component failure can be traced to the stock rear end caps. To cure this problem MW makes a replacement cap from billet steel with an increased cross section and heat treated hardware. A 12 Bolt typically only needs the drivers side cap replaced. Requires simple milling operation. Price: $65.00 Larry (Z)
Re: [Chevelle-list] Parts
Are you positive about that? Here's the MW deal, I found my old catalog, it says nothing about any machining. http://www.markwilliams.com/esell/prodlist.asp?catid=1028 BillL At 09:35 PM 11/27/2005, you wrote: Any cap but the original would have to be machined Larry (Z)

Re: [Chevelle-list] Parts
I think I remember from my drag racing days that Mark Williams & probably some others had a steel replacement cap for 12 bolts that made the rear stronger. I don't think that you had to do any machining to use these caps. If you aren't using it for a racing application, I would think that you could pull some caps off of another housing & use them without any problem. The front of the bearings are going to seat in the front caps, so any alignment would be done at that point. The rear caps are there to hold the bearing in place, and as long as they will tighten down the bearing race, that should work fine. Just my 2 cents.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Parts
If you did find a set of caps, couldn't you plastigage them like main caps to see if they met tolerance? Of course you can't buy under/over size carrier bearings like you can main bearings, but you could test fit some replacement caps, couldn't you? Just a thought.
