What exactly is it you've heard about running those two together? I've been running a Moser 12 bolt and BMR Trac Pak for a while now with no problems. Only known problem I'm aware of is the bolts backing out over time. Instead of the supplied bolts I used 8.8 bolts with longer threads and some loctite.

I just took the bolts that came with it and matched them up at the hardware store. I got some that were a little bit longer, but it's been at least six months since I messed with it so I'm not sure exactly what size/type I bought. As long as you don't bottom them out you should be fine. The longer bolts and some red loctite have kept them snug up until now. I checked them a couple of weeks ago.

Been running the BMR track pack and a Moser 12 bolt for 3 years. I have never had the bolts loosen up. Red loctite took care of that. Just checked them again whrn I had the trans out and all was fine.

I run the BMR extreme with a Moser 12 bolt. I have not had any trouble with bolts coming loose.

No, BMR Moser and HAL (makers of the QA1s) are not the same company. We use the BMR X-Treme Torque Arm and a KTRE 12-bolt with no problems. Our bolts have not backed out either.
