9 Inch ends on a 12 bolt

#1 Post by Gus68 » Fri Nov 19, 2010 3:20 pm

Hey guys! I have a 12 bolt in my chevelle, with Strange C-clip eliminators, and a set of moser axles. I bought the Moser axles A few years ago, they have all the same dimensions as a stock 12 bolt axle, even the little nubs on the end for the factory C-clips. Anyway, i would like to get rid of the C-clip eliminators, cause the seem to leak, and weld on Ford 9" ends. My question is, will a Ford 9" bearing have the same inside diameter as the 12 bolt axle? My guess is no. If not, is there a bearing that has the outer diameter of the ford bearing and an inner diameter as the 12 bolt axle? Kind of a conversion bearing? Also, if I have 9" ends welded to my housing, how do I make it seal? Don't factory ford 9" rearends have a seal a few inches down in the axle tube? I have also heard of guys running the Olds or Pontiac style of ends, would this be an easier or better option? I know I can't be the only guy who has done this, what is the best way? And don't tell me I need new axles!!!! There is nothing wrong with them and I am on a budget. Actually I am maried with kids :roll: .

I checked them out on Toms dirrerentials .com That looks like what I need. Anyone know if the bearing will work on my current axles? And how do the seal? That's one of my biggest things.
