[Chevelle-list] Fwd: GM 8.875 C-Clip Eliminator 9200

[BAINEY, WALTER]

I don't have specifics but I run Moser axles in my car and hope to help.  It's been 12-15yrs so things are fuzzy.

1.  I don't remember thread locker but would use high heat/high strength.  I heated my retainer rings with a torch and dropped them down the shaft and into place.

2.  I used the axle shaft bolt holes for the backing plate.  Did you cut the axle housing off and remove the 4 bolt holes?  If you didn't the holes /bearing retainer will line up and work.

Any help with Moser C-Clip Eliminators?

I have sent two messages to Moser Engineering about this and haven't heard back yet - I'm pressed for time with this customer... Here is a copy of my message to Moser  - has anyone here solved the same issue?

I have two issues with the installation of C-Clip Eliminator kit 9200 on a GM 12-bolt 8.875 axle that need to be resolved before I can continue.

1.) The instruction sheet mentioned adding threadlocker to the axle shaft where it will be pressed to the bearing.  What threadlocker do you recommend?  A Loctite 200 series threadlocker or 600 series for shaft bonding?

2.) The axle has no backing plates, there is a rear disc brake conversion that bolts to the opposite side of the housing flange.  I was hoping you have come across this before and had spacers on hand.  I included a drawing of what I sent to our fabricator - I hope my measurements are close.  Can you either verify if my hole dimensions are correct or forward me a detailed machining drawing of the housing end?

Thank you for your help,
:D
