Hey Bruce.
 According to what I read over on Moparts it looks like they are working the final fitment issues with them before they get ready for production. I think he has a list going on them.. I am not sure how many units they plan to make on the first run but I would contact them.  P.S your car is coming together great, love the interior...   .........http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=6330693&page=0&fpart=17&vc=1

I always got great service from Cass at Doctor Diff

 I got mine from Cass as well!   Your also in Canada if I remember right? I got the Dana shipped just across the border in Buffalo NY and drove down to pick it up, saved a bunch in " brokerage fee's"

Another  for Cass as well...Great customer service!

hey thx brad & alan, yeah im right next to the border so won't be a problem that way. i am going to mock up the wheels and tires under the car to make sure it's right before i order it. probably better to order it with rear disks installed? or does running rear disks change the axle flange to axle flange dimension?  thanks for your help in advance just want to make sure before i order it because it will be a custom length rear

Cass will know better but I'd guess the rotor flange to be 3/8" thick so that will add to the total  width? Order the thick axel  retainers and the bigger tapered  bearings. I did and was happy with it all! Also got the upgrade... tru trac and love it!

I ordered my rotors from another supplier so they would match the fronts.


I then used this to retain the stock look with no rust issues...?

Hope that helps?

I assume you know about or want the b-body width thing so you can fit wider tires than stock?

[cordodge]

hey brad, yeah i need to shorten a e-body rear by 3" on both sides, that will leave me with 1" on each side of the wheel well with the wheel and tire combo i have. the springs are moved in under the frame. so you have the factory style axle bearings and not the green bearings i would rather the factory ones and yeah i guess the rotor would and some length for sure. here is a somewhat close-up of the wheel and tire on the car with the stock rear.   thanks for the info.   bruce

[cordodge]

another pic, hard to tell from the pic but it can go in 3" easy  thx bruce

[brads70]

The bearings are tapered like the stockers but they are bigger than stock, it was an upgrade as well. You will need to open up the caliper bracket and rotor. Cass can do this for you, I'm just cheap and have the equipment to do it myself. Aluminum brackets are an option too.



axels are bigger than stock too. ( more splines and bigger diameter)

I chose the smaller diameter brakes 10.7? I think it is. Works great with the Viper caliper set up! E-brake cables are extra too. Do yourself a favour and buy all you can through Cass!
