'67 Camaro E/SA redo

[Geerhead55]

Rich,, I'm glad you got it back together so quickly,,, but I do hope down the road that Moser is made aware of this, so that they can look into producing a better product in the future. Good luck with your car,, I hope you'll go to Columbus in May.

Thanks Danny - I sent a email to Moser about the problem...we will see how they follow up. No concrete plans on where to run this year yet...kind of wait and see how the car runs first. Without any further breakage I should have an idea this coming Saturday.

Interesting, when I ordered my rear from moser I asked if they would install the Calvert perches. I was told absolutely not as they felt there's were much stronger. I wish I remembered my sales person cause I'd love to send him those pics.. Car looks good!!!!!

Glad you got it back together!! Im gonna look under my car... I have Caltracs, 2* wedges and no spacers... Mine has 100's of passes on it...they must have used better perches on mine...I had them put them on in 2001... Car has made several hundred passes in the 11.50 or faster range...After seeing your failure, it makes me want to have some bracing welded onto mine...

I feel like if we had a big block in the car Brent they would have failed in the water box. Ours failed from the very first pass evident from the mph on the time slip...the second launch just sealed the deal. Perry says he has seen this on many stick cars, but nothing this extreme.

Nice work.....old school...a heat wrench, and probably a hammer and pry bar. Add some metal and weld it up.....

Parts cost.....zero...

Looks like the old rear end had the appropriate reinforcement. Oh well....that's racin'.

I think quadrajetparts.com has a 2 piece solution for you. A 1" extension plus an inverted flare to -8 adapter.

It did, but the perches on it were welded in the wrong place...had the housing skewed nearly an inch toward the drivers side. If I had it to do all over we would have just cut them off and welded some Caltrac perches on it in the correct spot. My partner was hell bent on a new housing tho...
