Have you came up with a price yet for just the adapters And seal?

Not yet, I am machining a few sets next week and once machine time is determined,,,, I can put a cost to them. I do however expect the pricing to be similar as the "weld-on" kits I sell since they are very similar, and as you may or may not know those are $900.00 a set.
Additionally, the basic kit for this "bolt-on" setup will include the axle seal and ARP hardware. Appreciate your interest! Thanks!!

I do not think any questions are stupid and believe that is how we all learn. To answer your question, a conventional rear with "torino ends" IS considered a semi-floater. This set-up would fall closer into the full floater category.
In a nutshell, with a semi-float axle, the axle shaft both carries the weight of the vehicle and transmits torque which directly relates to the failure of bearings, seals, and ultimately piston knockback.
With a full-float axle, the weight of vehicle is supported by the axle housing-more specifically and in this situation, the C6/7 Hub/Bearing that is attached/bolted to the end of the axle tube. Torque is now transmitted by the axle shaft that carries literally no weight since the Hub/Bearing Unit supports the vehicles weight now...

Yes, with the floating axles it should. I've run a similar weld on style flange and it absolutely has no knock back.

That implies that you actually went into a corner hard enough to move the rotor and push the pads back..... Just sayin'.... Hahahahahahahaha

Great idea. Yes, I'm very interested.

Thank you Jr. I appreciate you posting up your interest.
Keep an eye on this thread for more info!

Great idea! So simple, but you are the first. Brilliant really, for the person making the upgrade with additional room or before they order wheels.

Does the weld-on kit for $900 include axles and the unit bearing? Gotta link to your website somewhere? There are no details in your signature or your user profile. I looked through your posts and saw a bunch of GMR stuff but when I called GMR they said you don't work for them.

Thanks Payton! Now what do I owe ya for saying that :lol:

Jay,

Here are some pictures of my Moser set up. It does have the inner seal as well. Hope these shots help.
