I have to agree with Ron here, I would be jumping all over this if I could retro fit it to the 9" I just purchased from DSE. I am not in the position to buy a whole new housing, and I doubt mine would sell due to the custom width I ordered it in.
That being said it is a nice piece.

I hear you guys............. and MAYBE I will reconsider after a few are out there and i can get some additional feed back from Speedway. So lets not close that door completly.
I hope you guys can also understanfrom our point as well. that because it is new we really don't need any Negative feedback from someone who tried to do it themselves and had a bad experiance.

You would also have to get custom made housing adaptors made for your narrowing jig in order to even mount the ends, so there is a cost factor there to consider as well.

Blake,
I hear what you are saying, I can respect the fact you want to get a few out there so you can ensure a good product.
Sooo.. that being said is it not as simple as cutting the torino ends off my housing (that is unused with the suspension brackets welded on by DSE, not me) and welding your ends on retaining the width I want? (52.875")
I would be willing to ship the housing to you as well; if that is a possibility?

Going back and reading again I can totally see all your angles. Its hard to cater to everybody's situation.
In my situation like I stated my housing is a brand new DSE unit, unpainted as of yet, and I am only one province over from you as far as shipping goes.

I've been researching rearend options for a few years now and I've priced multiple options of modifying my 12 Bolt and without major shortcuts buying and complete Ford rear end and selling my basically new 12 bolt appears to be the best cost vs. features vs. performance option.

Please keep in mind: No decent businessman wants to turn away business especially in this economy. If modifying customer housings was cut and dried I'm sure they'd gladly be taking orders.

Set up costs, liability, reputation, market value, and profitablity all factor in to the equation. Basically the system is still in beta mode so give them a little time to sort all the variables out. Delivering genuine customer satisfaction doesn't happen overnight. :thumbsup:
