Thread: Another use for a Chevy V8

Tweet

Well I've spent lots of the day trying to run down the reason for the axle specs for C-clip axles and about the best I can deduce?--------Lots of rear ends out there are C clip axle retained--------others, like fords are not---spool equipped rears cannot be, and some have an upgraded axle package installed with a mod called "C clip eliminators" which is a fabricated part that bolts (or welded) to the end of the axle tube to make it similar to the ford where the axle is held in with a retainer plate around the bearing. At this point , it seems to me, the wording in the kit discription "C Clip " axles really meant that the calipers wouldn't work with a C clip eliminator mod and was therefore for "C clip axles" This of course did lead me on to finally find some speced out as not for C Clip axels------------

Oh well, I use full floaters anyway---------

sorry for the dashes Roger


Damn-I spent all this time typing this and it posted in the wrong thread---time for bed
