These are some pretty cool products you have. If they were avialble 2 years ago it probably would have changed my build direction. Good luck with all the new ideas!

did you not already have a bolt on kit developed ? if so whats the difference

Hello Ryan,

Yes I do have another bolt-on application, however the other one you are referring to is specific to Big Ford Ends.

This one is specific to Chevy 12 Bolt OEM style End.

If I recall correctly, you currently have a Chevy 12 Bolt with OEM style Ends :poke:

Jay

Hey Jay
Yes I do have a 12 bolt.... I was positive you had another 12 Bolt , bolt on kit .....anyways I keep getting other parts instead of Your ..."rear end " lol kit ...I will be buying the weld on kit regardless

I'm interested in the 12 bolt kit. Not ready to buy right away but I would like the option over other alternatives.

They were available,,,, only on a napkin at that point haha! Thank you for the positive comment!

Hey Ryan - Maybe I had mentioned the Chevy 12 Bolt "Bolt-On" design while trading emails with you. The design has been in my head for quite some time. Either way, it sound like you are after my Weld-On. I'll keep one with your name on it! Now quit buying everything else :lol:

I am VERY proud of this one. I feel Chevy 12 Bolt guys lacked a solid Pro Tour/Auto-X type solution to the dreaded axle c-clips, and brake packages...
Now you can have it ALL :thumbsup:

Stay tuned for some actual product pictures that I will be displaying real soon. These are beautiful pieces!!

Parts!!
 

I love it when a idea goes from my head, to napkin, to CAD, to my workbench, then to Indiana and onto a Camaro, thennnnn to the Midwest Musclecar Challenge for Road Course & Auto-X thrashing :)

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...pshhdqmb0z.jpg

Will that setup work with the 10 bolt? Being that the ends are the same as the 12 bolts.

Yes, however I have not physically verified, but is my understanding they are identical.

Jay

Curious about the 10 bolt ability and price?

Hi Mike,

I have not physically tested with a 10 Bolt, however it is my understanding that the 10 Bolt does share the same "housing end" as the 12 Bolt so would also work with a 10 Bolt.

At this point pricing will match that of my current Big Ford kit. Currently offered at $1998.00 for everything needed to run. I do offer in a lessor optioned kit too.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks!

Jay

Update
 

Just a few more bench pictures. I installed this new kit onto an old 10/12 Bolt "flange end" to better help visualize.

I am also proud to report that one of these new 12 Bolt Hybrid Floater Systems not only installed perfectly with no issue onto my customers 68 Camaro 12 bolt rear-end, but he just successfully completed multiple road course & auto-x sessions during this weekends Midwest Musclecar Challenge and was very pleased with the consistent brake pedal/elimination of piston knockback!
The additional piece of mind knowing that the weak original c-clip axles had been replaced and therefore no longer had to fear his wheel & tire exiting the rear-end,,,, I am thinking had to be worth a few more miles per hour in the corners!!!

Also had another customer representing the MillerBuilt product line at this event and was running one of my Big Ford End application "Bolt-On" Hybrid Floater Systems. He also took advantage of the multiple benefits of the kit and was thrashing so hard out on the road course on Friday that he broke a pan hard bar bracket weld! The good news is he was able to repair for Saturdays auto-x of which I believe he secured a very respectable 8th place considering the number and quality of competitors. Nice job! :thumbsup:

Orange 68 Camaro?

Hey Donny,

The 12 Bolt kit is on a silver/grey Camaro. I will post up a few action shots once I receive them.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...pstad5x9ys.jpg

The Big Ford kit is also on a Grey 68 Camaro (Aarik). Hope to have some action shots of some of his events that he has been attending and beating on as well.

Congrats on the shop/biz!!!

Jay

Will the system work with staggered shocks on the first and second Camaros?

I have not had an opportunity yet to physically install one, however I see no reason why it would not given how compact the design is.

I admittedly am not a Camaro expert by any means, but would be more than happy to provide any dimension you need to verify clearances. If you choose to take me up on this, please reference any requested measurement starting from either the outer or inner side of your axle tube brake flange.

I assume it is shock to caliper clearance concern?

Thank you for your interest!

Jay

Midwest Musclecar Challenge
 

Just a few pics of this kit in action on the open road course at the last Midwest Musclecar Challenge.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...psbax8w3hy.jpg

Thanks for looking, and let me know if you have any questions!

Jay

Yes,The caliper shock clearance is the issue with these cars.The later second gen firebirds had rear disc brakes and the factory staggered the calipers.Can the caliper bracket be flipped to one side or the other with your system?

Yes, they can be used on either side. To accomplish what you are suggesting would take "two passenger side Adaptors" (assuming your driver side shock is on the back side of the axle tube. If not then "two driver side Adaptors"

I would be very surprised though if my standard configuration would not clear. Obviously has a little to do with what caliper choice you make to.

Please PM me your phone number and we will resolve this quickly.


Jay

Jay,

Thanks for your time and information.It looks like it will work for my application.I'm still in the building process with my car.So when the time comes,I'm seriously considering your kit.Very nice design.

Mike,

Sounds good Mike, thank you.

I do want thank Jay for the great customer service and getting the parts around to me in time for the Midwest Musclecar Challenge. Very pleased so far with this kit! As Jay noted, I had consistent brake pedal feel throughout the day. No pad knockback detected.

Buddy,

Very happy to have been able to help. Thank you for the kind words and your support!

Jay

Do you have any pics of the completed install on the car?

Hi Steve,

I will have some soon and will post up a few. Anything in particular you are looking for?

Jay

I am interested
 

please let me know when ready for sale?

Next batch is heading to zinc/anodize this Thursday. Will have multiple sets in stock and ready to ship next Thursday.

Please note, axles take approx. 3 weeks from the time that your order is placed (you will need to also provide necessary measurements to confirm correct axle lengths).

Let me know if you need any other details.

Jay

Jay,

When installing the system on the backing plate.Are you cutting the axle tube flush with the flange and what size are those bolts?

Mike,

12 Bolt Kit - Flange/End Prep
 

Hi Mike,

Hope this helps. I have pictured below the required prep and can be done with basic hand tools, obviously you can utilize many different power tools to accomplish the same thing in a matter of minutes. For purposes of illustration I prepared my end in a vise, however this work can be done exactly the same while installed under your car.Oh, the adaptor bolts, or optional ARP studs are 3/8"....


With your existing axles & brakes removed......

Place a rag or similar inside the axle tube to keep debris from entering while performing the prep work
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...psf7nskeug.jpg


Cut excess axle tube at edge of factory parking brake dust shield register
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...psum5nzh7m.jpg


Tube end removed. The remaining factory dust shield register will now locate the C6/C7 Adaptor centric to the diff/axle tube
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...pscyz7n7jv.jpg


Clean up cut with file
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...ps0nfoygm0.jpg


Chuck up the included step-bit into your powered or cordless drill
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...ps9imdngzt.jpg


A few squirts of WD-40 at each of the (4) holes
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...pscj4xr7l5.jpg


With included step bit, proceed to drill out each existing 3/8" hole to 1/2". These are now ready to accept the 1/2" bosses that protrude from the C6/C7 Adaptor that help locate/strengthen the system
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...psilpojqmt.jpg


That's it, you are now ready to install your kit!


Let me know if you have any other questions.

Jay

Jay,

Thanks again for the info.The photos are helpful.My only concern with your bolt on system is the load bearing on those four mounting bolts.

Mike,

Mike,

No need for concern as the C6/C7 Billet Flange actually indexes onto the remaining portion of the factory park brake dust shield register. By doing this the mounting hardware is simply used for clamping force (tension), and will not experience shear force. In addition, the 1/2" threaded bosses that protrude off the C6/C7 Billet Flange are the icing on the cake so to speak as they further enforce this.

Great questions and keep them coming !



Jay

Great product! WIsh this was around when I bought my Moser floater, would have savedme lots of time.... :bang:

No provisions for ABS?

Pretty sure that the hub has the sensor mounts in them .....and let's be honest who beside steilow is actually running abs...people talk about doing it but never do

Yes, special order - the adaptor requires another "process" and to raustinss point, most folks are not interested or will never utilize the abs capabilities. By eliminating this machine process I save the majority of buyers money on something they do not require.

If you need this just let me know and we can get your special order rolling.
