Go down to Fife... and talk with the boys at Art Morrison. They stock/sell Wilwood... and rear ends - and have all the jigs etc.

Chevy bolt pattern ends. Flush mount so you can use your parking brake bracket as a retainer.

I like the idea but the only thing I am thinking is you would have to make sure it would work with your rear end setup. it looks like it's aluminum where my rear end brackets are welded on and that could be a pain.

they feature mild steel plates that bolt to the housing then you weld your brackets to them.

The rear end above doesn't have any specs in the photo. Here is the company. http://speedmaster79.com/tds/third-member/ perhaps someone in the thread knows this company. I suspect the casting is made overseas.

^^^^ Yes Jeff, I believe you are correct, but Australia? Well at least that's where the parent company is from according to their web site.

Also another interesting their US company is ProComp who sells ALOT of cheap knock off parts on flebay! You name it and they sell it, I believe they are the ones selling the fake Persision EFI manifolds?? Not sure on that one but I think I saw the ProComp name on them before.

Also on their web site the housing is $400 and axle tubes are $80 so a few bucks less then flebay.

If that's procomp in Australia be very wary. They don't have a good reputation here. Never personally used their items & can't say I would. I'd rather spend a bit extra upfront than replacing new parts

[Vince@Meanstreets]

that would explain the low cost....looks cast.


Tell me though, what would one pay for a billet aluminum one made in the US??

Like everything else these days....quality control should be the concern, not the PoO
