Very interesting kit. I haven't come across this product until joining this forum. I take it, this also changes the bolt pattern to late GM metric pattern?

Yes ....and if you have aftermarket spindles that have c6 hubs you now have a matched set ...

Very cool. This is a nice product to match for the guys running CPP or Speedtech spindles with the corvette front hubs on early GM subframes. DSE and AME cars also use the corvette hub up front as well. With many people chasing down LS engines, corvette brakes and late model wheels, this is an interesting product to see.

Good stuff!

That's some slick sh!t there, someone's using their brains , thanks for sharing

Thanks guys..

I pretty much have an application for everyone!

Full Float Style -

I just noticed you have 2 axle styles.

For the full floater style, are those black caps with the set screws and o-rings holding the axle and fluid it?

Is there any reason to run one style of axle over the other?

Both axles ultimately act/perform the same. Some folks may prefer GM/OEM type design/technology, while others may prefer a more traditional style full floater axle.
The full float style axle is more cost effective so may be the deciding factor for most..

Great question and thanks for asking.

Jay, awesome product! Got the kit put on my housing and then decided to detail the hubs so I took it all apart again ...

Here's some pics of my install with the caliper forward of the axle which places the parking brake access to the rear which would lengthen the cables to enter from behind the axle .... :idea: then this idea came to me!!!

Swap the parking brake adjuster/ lever and the parking brake cable bracket from right to left and have the parking brake access in the front now!!!

Any reason this would NOT work? Since I have them apart to detail I'm going to mock it up!

Well this idea bugged me all last nite ... so I got up at o dark thirty and got to work swapping the sides and ... it seems to me that it will work! Please chime in if you see something that I don't but it looks like the angle of the dangle on the cable bracket will work!

FYI ... for redneckery ideas on getting the hub bolts torqued to 94 ft/lbs when both pieces rotate, just stand the wheel up and use the bar to stop the rotation! Just a thought ... hope it helps!

Ok now I have to take it back apart and Loctite and torque all the bolts.

Hi Michael,

It appears you swapped the "stop plate" (or as I and others may know it as, the "adjuster/lever") from one dust shield assembly to the other. If so, technically it does work as you have figured out, but as you may have noticed the lever /boot is slightly offset and does not quite fit as nicely as the intended adjuster for that side. With that said I see no issue with its function and the only thing that I can even remotely see happening because of the slight lever/boot offset would be the levers "boot" may not seal to the dust shield quite as well as the intended one for that side. Make sense?

So I guess the short answer is: Yes it does work :D

Now with that said and of course completely up to you but I am thinking the e-brake cable bracket approach may be best if you switch both your complete assemblies to opposite sides and "flip them". This would give you front mount calipers as you have, only the e-brake cable bracket would be on the bottom and angled a bit better for the e-brake cable approach. Hard for me to be sure, but just something to consider. As you are seeing, this kit you have (The Big Bearing Ford Kit) is extremely flexible as it relates to caliper/e-brake cable location options.

The car looks awesome and proud to have my parts on it! Thank you!!

Jay,
Just realized I posted in the "12 bolt" thread ... oh well.

Thanks for your thoughts and ideas, your kit is very versatile, I just did the swap from side to side and this does put the stop plate on the bottom and it should have a better angle of the dangle with the cable.

Thanks for helping,

Michael
