That's a great price, but it won't work in your F Body, as you need a housing that has a torque arm bracket designed into it. Bob

this isnt something that can be fabricated?

It could work if you can find an old SummersBrothers cover and arm.......

what is this peice you speak of?

Well, many many years before KTRE started casting the new 12bolt centers with the torque arm mount..... SummersBrothers used to make a rear cover that incorporated a torque arm link for use in a 3rd/4th Gen F-body. And it worked, reall really well. I put a few in land speed record chassis' and quite a few street chassis' as well.

The thing is.... it would be a diamond in the rough to find one. Ever since Bob died I havent really seen that many around.

BTW, Bill and Bob Summers were the cats who defined what being "the ****" in the differential business is all about.... since the mid 50's. They are in a class of their own... and right next to Mark Williams.
