I am really interested in this, can the axles be done in 30 spline for my eaton locker?

Yes sir.

This kit use the corvette hub and bearings. I wonder how much weight this bearing/ hub can withstand, with corvette wheel offset.
I am looking for a setup for a street car, but it is a lot heavier then the Corvette.
So how much axel weight is it safe to run on this axel / hub combination?

Thank you for your interest and flattered to get your 1st post!

I have no way of answering this with any kind of scientific data, but what I can tell you, is a very talented group of current, and ex GM engineers have these same hub units installed on cars (front & back) such as a 69 Dodge Charger that is fully loaded with late model hemi, whipple super charger, auto trans, roll cage, full interior, big wheels/tires/brakes, etc..

Also 70 Chevelle, 1st gen Camaros, and all with similar weight adding components. So if these guys are confident outfitting these heavy weight cars that are purpose built to be tracked, I feel comfortable giving the same endorsement on similar weighted cars.


So what is the car you are wanting to run this on, and how much does it weigh?

My car is a 1995 Chevrolet caprice / impala clone with ls3 and supercharger.
I have kor3 corvette zo6 brakes up front and still have the stock rear brakes.
The rear end is 8.5 C-clip with the abs sensor on the pinion, and the worst 3 channel abs system ever made.
What I want is a system that eliminates the C-clip, and has the provision for ABS sensors on both wheels. I live in Norway and I would need some kind of documentation to prove that the setup can hold the vehicle weight. Usually when I change a rear end to a different type I use the weight spec from the donor vehicle to prove that the axle is strong enough. With the corvette parts I think this could be a problem.
The total weight on the rear end of the car is 1213kg or 2674lb

Regards
Tor

You were not kidding when you said heavy!
I am not certain, and not sure how adaptable your ABS system is, but you may be able to suffice load ratings by running Camaro/Cadillac CTS-V Hub part#'s. I am almost positive they are identical dimensions as Vette but easy to prove ratings on these 4000+lb cars. I am not saying to even rule out the C6/7 hub part #'s either as if you could find specifications on them they are probably even rated for your weight loads??? I did a quick search and did not find anything but perhaps someone on this site can help if they know.

Just in case anyone is wondering,,,, I will have sets ready to ship by mid next week! (just waiting for Hub Spacers to come back from anodize shop)

This design enables you to take full advantage of C5/6/7 Corvette technology on your existing or new rear housing. This kit will install onto nearly ALL rear-end housings! Some of the benefits of this system are:

• Full Floater type benefits - (eliminate Piston knock-back & Torsional axle load)
• Utilizes ALL OEM & Aftermarket brake kits made for C5/6 Corvettes
• Utilizes the OEM C5/6 Corvette E-Brake assembly
• Utilizes the OEM C6/7 Corvette Bearing/Hub Assembly
• Utilizes the OEM C5/6 Corvette Fasteners
• ABS compatible
• Optional "self installation" through the use of available/for loan fixturing (see below)

"The Basic Kit" I am offering is made up of (6) pieces total of which I have listed below. It will allow you to run the ever so popular, “over the counter” C6/7 Corvette Hubs, C5/6 E-Brake, Calipers & Rotors (including ALL aftermarket brake kits designed for C5/6). The cool thing is you can purchase these “over the counter” parts as you can afford as kind of a self-finance plan OR you can buy everything from me in what I call my "Complete Kit".

"The Basic Kit" - $900.00 Plus Shipping/PayPal

(2) Billet Steel weld on flanges
(2) Billet aluminum hub spacers
(2) Axle seals

"The Complete Kit" I am offering will come with all of the "Basic Kit" items listed above, but will also include items listed below in Green.

(2) C7 SKF 33 spline Hub/Bearing Packs (robust like the 2013 ZR1 hub)
(2) Complete Parking/Emergency Brake Assemblies.
(2) Parking/Emergency Brake Cable Brackets
(6) Hub to Upright Bolts
(4) Parking/Emergency Brake Cable Bracket Bolts
(4) Caliper Mounting Bolts
(4) Caliper Mounting Bolt Washers
(2) Axle Nuts


"The Complete Kit" - $1650.00 Plus Shipping/PayPal

Axles are the ONLY aftermarket part needed to run and can be purchased through me @Strange Engineering for $825 a pair for the Gun-drilled & at $575 a pair for the NON Gun-drilled. (yes, not cheap but both variants are machined from their Hy-Tuf material…) The hub side spline count will be 33 to accommodate the C6/7 Hub , and the carrier end can be 30/31/33/35.

*The (2) weld on Steel Flange Ends included in the kit will need to be fixture welded to your housings axle tubes. I can do this for you (for a fee), OR I can loan (with $450 fully refundable deposit), the correct alignment/fixturing bushings (to include 3rd Member pucks & C6 Flange alignment blocks) and you will only need to use your 3rd member case & purchase a 1-1/2” diameter by 60” long alignment bar through Mittler Brothers unless maybe you know of a local source that already has a 1-1/2" alignment bar,,,,,, but it needs to be straight! The bar through Mittler Brothers is $130 plus shipping. http://www.mittlerbros.com/turned-gr...dia-shaft.html (or as I have been informed, SUMMIT RACING has these bars by Mittler Brothers that they ship for FREE!)

Here are a few pics of the fixture pieces I will loan you. (These are also for sale if you wish to purchase at $425.00 which includes shipping/PayPal)

Please feel free to ask questions and I will do the best I can in answering.

Please note alignment dowels. A feature to eliminate any chance of shifting between weld on flange and spacer under extreme situations. Overkill? Maybe

Not a huge deal, but want it known that this setup will utilize OEM Hub fasteners.

Again, just a pic to show the OEM caliper bolts...

Please do not hesitate to ask questions. Thanks for considering!

I know it's in here somewhere....what does it add to the track width.?

being the weld on version you adjust the housing tubes.

the bolt on version adds .250 to each side.

Sorry was a little tired when I wrote that,I'm referring to the welded on version. I've got a stock 12 bolt
