You've seen my car, it's lipstick everywhere on that pig!

Totally agree though...ultimately I need a new rear but that's a can of worm$ I don't want to open right now. I blame the Investing 102 thread.

Pull those axles and figure out a way to attach a shim to the axle ends. It won't cost you squat and will fix your problem. Send the rest of the money to the Todd Akes "I need another BEER fund" Hendertucky USA.

Hey Doug, if you are curious about the Baer floater and want to check them out, let me know... I have everything in my garage waiting to get installed.

I should have the OLC at RTTC3 with the new Bear floater assembly... I hope... The rear end is all together, we just need to get brake lines done and hopefully it will bolt right in...

At least that is the plan...

I bought a really sweet 14" floater kit 8 months ago and i have had zero knockback issues as the parts are still in the box and i have no time to install them.

Hi Doug better late then never.
Sounds like i need to let you use some floater spray

On your drum brakes

My Moser 9" floater is finished. I blead the brakes over the weekend. Total cost on the complete rear end including housing, hubs, axles, center section and brakes was just short of $2500.

TheJDMan - Looks good! Props to you for getting another thing checked off the list in your build, I really like your caliper / rotor selection as well. I'm a big fan of the Asymmetrical GT style rotors! Your car is really coming along.

Jason
