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?

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



Cut excess axle tube at edge of factory parking brake dust shield register



Tube end removed. The remaining factory dust shield register will now locate the C6/C7 Adaptor centric to the diff/axle tube



Clean up cut with file



Chuck up the included step-bit into your powered or cordless drill



A few squirts of WD-40 at each of the (4) holes



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



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


Let me know if you have any other questions.

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,

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 !
