RE: [Chevelle-list] narrowing a 12 bolt
Just get a 68 elky and use one of those rears :o) Then I would order the axles and have the rear shortened, I have heard about someone having oil leak problems with c-clip eliminators so I would go with new FXXD ends on the tubes you have, a good welder should be able to get it straight and maybe a set of newer camaro rear discs or one of those street sets in the catalogs would be nice. I would do it in this way because I’m on budget and shipping a complete rear end from USA to Italy would cost more than the rear itself, if you are on a little bit bigger budget you could just order a new rear to the needed specs right out of a catalog :) Med Vennlig Hilsen/Kind Regards/Cordiali Saluti André Broe Jensen -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Holleman Sent: 6. desember 2003 15:32 To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] narrowing a 12 bolt The 68/72 is one inch wider.

Re: [Chevelle-list] narrowing a 12 bolt
Buddy, The guy who does all my machine work says,"no problem". He is a Moser dealer he has regular contact with them, so their input will be there. Before I do anything much I'm going up on a lift and dropping the coils to see if I have a problem with hitting the inner wells when collapsed. You know me, I can't be satisfied with just one project going on. The Tempest will come first. The trans is here, Ron Davis is at work, and then there is the Skylark. It is all apart now. So much work and so little time.
