[Chevelle-list] FW: Brakes for Moser Rear Ends

[Bill Vander Werf]

FW: Brakes for Moser Rear EndsSeveral years ago I bought a "bolt in" Ford 9" for my 71 from Moser. They put GM flanges on the ends of the housing and I was able to use my stock brakes.

I had to use a die grinder to open up the center hole in the backing plate to allow the Ford type bearing to pass through it but it wasn't a big deal. They made an axle retainer to go with it.

I bought 31 spline axles with 3" long 1/2" studs so I had to drill out the holes in my drums. Again, no big deal.

Moser can fab any combo you want, ask them.

I'm very happy with the Moser 9". My car runs low 11s and weighs 3800 pounds with driver. I have over 1500 runs on it without any problems.

  Perhaps I am not thinking this one through enough - so I ask the collective..

  If I order a hot 12-bolt from Moser, it comes with Ford ends that accept Ford brake systems.  If I buy the Moser rear, I am going to be broke, so I would elect to use high-end OEM brakes (2004 Corvette on the front, 2006 mustang on the rear).  Is it possible to order rotors for the Ford systems that have holes drilled for the Chevy bolt pattern, or do I have to redrill them myself?  Or would it be easier to order a Chevy brake system and have some brackets fabbed up?

  I want to try to stay away from the high $ brake systems that will solve this problem.  Will I get in trouble if I drill 5 additional holes in a Ford rotor so it fits my Chevelle?
