'67 Camaro E/SA redo

[Glenn Hayes]

Holy Cow!
First off, I glad that your O.K., that is most important.

On my Wagon, I have 2" steel straps welded to the ends of the perch angled back to the axle tube on both ends.

Dang! Im pretty sure that Moser would be getting a call from me, on this deal... THey should make it right. I had them do mine, about 12yrs ago, and ive had no problems...they must be using chinese parts... Now, i will look at mine...I think mine are stronger looking , if i recall...

[HandOverFist]

The way it used to look hehe...



One would think that with a failure this quick I can't be the only one this has happened to. Btw, the Moser website really sucks.

[Dwight Southerland]

Been there; done that. You will end up with something like this made from square or rectangular tubing and then boxed on the ends.

Thanks Dwight...found something better at Calverts. http://www.calvertracing.com/store/h...pair-p-63.html

My question is why Moser did not use something better when they knew beforehand exactly what the intended application was.

We have those Calvert HD perches in stock call me after 11.00 AM CST Therapy tomorrow morning so I get in late.

Also how do you get to run a 3 speed with a small block, I always thought 67-68 small blocks were PG only?

[Rich Biebel]

Any Trans is now accepted if it is from the original manufacturer.

So P/G only combos like his can use a 3 speed GM trans of his choice...

I think it is a good rule and makes these cars way more fun to race.....and maybe more competitive.

With all the other bogus stuff allowed this is minor....

[Rich Biebel]

It was/is pretty common to weld some straps on those perches....but I never saw a failure like that even without them.

You have a ton of work to fix that....pull rear cut off perches....weld on new ones...add strapping....check everything else for damage...

If it is legal a strap going over the top of the axle and down to the perch front and back should work.

The metal that those perches are made from is questionable in my mind...

That's a nice car....I would love to have it....and will be fun to race when you get it fixed....

[HandOverFist]

You are right...a ton of work required for no good reason. Pretty bummed about Moser atm...why use such cheap parts? I'm going to order those Calvert perches and have a local builder do the job. I may be wrong, but my gut feeling tells me Moser would be a long stall in getting any satisfaction and we want to race sometime this season.

I would call Moser and give them an opportunity to correct the situation.They should be on the hook for this and fix it asap,saving you some $. If you don't get a warm fuzzy feeling on the phone then you may want to go elsewhere. With social media such as this forum I would hope they view this problem as an opportunity to provide a solution and turn it into a positive for all of us to read about !
