RE: [Chevelle-list] Re: 12 Bolt axle bearings
So...you have a 9 rear end under your car? -Original Message- From: Clint Hooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 05, 2005 6:30 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: [Chevelle-list] Re: 12 Bolt axle bearings I'm running Baer's 12 Touring rear kit on my Fab 9. My Moser axles have tapered rollers. Ball bearings are for dragracing. However,I do know some running ball bearings on protourers. If I remember correctly,tapered rollers took a little research to find for a Ford 9.

Did you have to modify your 12 bolt? They tell me I need to install a C clip eliminator kit? There are two different bearing choices. One is tapered and the other is standard heavy duty ball bearings. Global says use the Roller bearings. Moser said most go for the ball bearings 70 Vs 30%. Pyle Bros says the tapered bearing are for those that take corners or cruising, the ball bearings are for drag applications. I'm confused. My friend mechanic says go for the ball bearings. He said you won't drive the car that much any way??? What to do!? Dan
Re: [Chevelle-list] Re: 12 Bolt axle bearings
Yes,that's what a Fab 9 is,,a custom sheet metal rear built by Chris Alston Chassisworks to use Ford 9 pumpkins. Mine's the fully braced model. The nice thing about these is the cost really is about the same as any other replacement rear.

Dan,I would try to avoid installing C-clip Eliminators,if possible. A better solution would be to weld Ford housing ends on and use non C-clip axles.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Re: 12 Bolt axle bearings
Actually...that's what I plan to do! Thanks Clint. The only problem is...I had the axle powder coated. Oh well...I guess it can be coated again!!
