Talked with Dutchman and they were no less but can also produce and I have no doubt in their ability. Never spoke with Moser, but prefer Strange over all and do a great job. I like the quality of their products. Unless quantities per order increase, no substantial discount will apply as it is what it is for material, process, machining.

I know it is not an inexpensive set-up as you have pointed out before in earlier post, but this most likely will not be a deal breaker for those that really want it. Folks may have to save a little while longer but then will have an OEM type setup that is hard to compare in many ways to anything on the market.

Who knows, maybe someday I will be running hundreds of sets at a time and price will be cut in half! I can only hope :yes:

Why not use the Seals-it inner seal and keep the oil in the center where it's needed? You need to relocate the axle vent but there's no need for the oil to be in the axle tube. http://www.sealsit.com/axle-seals.html

Hi Tim,

I include the outer seal in the kit since this will suffice most consumers usage, but I have no issues at all with this option if requested.
I have spoken with the folks at Seals-it for input as to optimal shaft size (at seal location) for best overall longevity of the seal, so if requested I can accommodate folks that may want to go that route.

Also while talking with Seals-it, it was mentioned that not all housing tubes are a "out of the box fit" for their product and sometimes require different O-rings and or machining of the O-ring grooves to obtain their suggested fitment, and is another reason for my including the outer seals that are certain to fit everyone's application.

Your input is greatly appreciated and further exposes another great option that folks can explore.

Thanks, Jay

Just a quick picture of Hugger67RSSS at the Midwest Musclecar Challenge Friday (road course) & Saturday (auto-x). He is a regular competitor and is running one of the MillerBuilt "Bolt-On" Hybrid Floater Kits. He has been throwing everything at it but the kitchen sink and just keeps on ticking :thumbsup:
