Check your website, Jason! It's missing!

I'm in the middle of doing the retrofit and when I start bragging, I want to be able to refer them to your website!

Speaking of which,

Wait until you see how this torque arm fit my new Moser 12-bolt. It's LIKE A GLOVE, dude! In fact, I had to use the bastard file to slightly bevel the Moser mounting pads, and recontour the torque arm mounting flanges like we discussed. After that, I tapped it into place with a brass hammer and it very nearly snapped into position. I tightened the four fasteners (That is what Moser uses: No long bolts! Woo hoo!) to 110 ft.lbs and I swear, you can tap the end of the torque arm with a hammer and the axle housing will ring like a bell, it's that rigid.

I'll be sending you the modification templates so that you can duplicate the dimensions to accomodate other future Moser axle assemblies.

Kick ass, I can't wait to try this thing out!

Oh yeah, while I remember: I need more suspension stuff. so BRING ON THE WEBSITE so I can place my order! I need six new rod ends, I should get some more weld-in LCA relocation brackets, and I need swaybar mounts that fit a three-inch axle tube.

3rd gen vs 4th gen?

Yup.
Someone goofed and it looks like Moser sent the wrong housing and axles. I ordered an axle for the 1982-1992 Firebird Trans Am, with disc brake flanges, no ABS sensor rings, no third channel option. Their shipping invoice to the builder read: Coil Spring axle housing and axles for F-body". Very descriptive, Moser Engineering.

Right now I don't know if it's a case of I'm screwed, the builder is screwed, or Moser is screwed. We're probably all screwed in one way or another. I *think* Moser screwed the builder, and I *think* Moser deserves a swift kick in the ***. All of our notes specifically state that the axle was to be a third-gen width.

These things are too costly to dink around with someone that can't even print a decent invoice or create a part number list. So, we're going to reorder the housing and axles and specifically state that the housing must be 56 1/4 inches from flange to flange to fit a third-gen Fbody. Unfortunately that means the axle builder may be stuck with a spare fourth-gen axle housing and axle shafts.

I've learned my lesson and will avoid Moser if possible for any future business.
