TN454Monte Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Okay, some more progress pictures to post. Kara sent these over to me today, the rear end housing is finished up and will be going back in this weekend with a little luck. This part of the project got a "little" more involved that I had wanted, but we found out that the Ring and Pinion gears were not installed correctly last spring, (some-one is getting paid a visit when I get home...they ain't going to be happy to see me either) after only a few hundred miles they were pitted and not worth reusing. The left axle was grooved as well so they both got replaced with a new set of Moser Heavy Duty non C-Clip eliminators. So it got all new gears, new axles, new brakes and lines, seals and heck while I'm at it I might as well do with the POS made in china chrome cover as well...it's only money right? Yeaaaaaah right. prior to assembly, fresh out of the tank and after being painted New Moser cover: New Ring and Pinion gear to replace the one that had been put in wrong last year and was damaged *sigh* Rear disc brakes being installed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heckeng Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Man, that sure is pretty! Is that the brake kit that people were talking about on the forum a while back? The one with the Caddy calipers? Good choice on the cover, I like the Moser one the best--very clean looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man, on the brake kit, this is the 4 wheel disc conversion kit for the A-body from Right-Stuff Detailing. I ordered it from Leo.

TN454Monte Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 Okay rear's back in the car...Here's some shots of the install. They cleaned up my under carriage and pans, and shot it all with Chassis Black as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72MC Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Looking real nice Greg. Only problem I can think of is that I think, like me, you live off of a gravel road and all that pretty undercarriage work will be dusty in no time :-(. Sorry, didn't mean to be a buzz kill. Again, it looks real nice. - Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7tonemonte Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Looking real nice Greg, Its not often you find a shop that cares enough to go above and beyond what is expected and paid for. Usually they are out of business due to lack of money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chevyss Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 They have arrived. New Moser axles, c-clip eliminators, and studs. Never used screw in studs, but everyone says they are better. I also got the alumn cover with the bearing support. I know, pictures. Later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
