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

Default 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!

Hey Donny,

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



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!

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.
