This kit will also fit other aftermarket brackets which use 5/8” diameter mounting holes and 3/8” bracket thickness. The P/N 2998 kit is the finishing touch to ensure a bulletproof system.

The spacers press into the 4 torque arm holes and take up the space normally left open. We've done this unofficially with a few customers and it makes the Moser-12 bulletproof. No more loose bolts.

Awesome. I did this exact thing back in 2005 and been never had a problem. Nothing special really. I had access to parts not available to public and came up with this idea a while back. But cant mass producr like y'all. My bushings are made of 6061 aluminum. And I used grade 8 bolts and some receded washers. Again nice kit.

No more broken TQ arms or bolts backing out. And yes I also used some locktite. This kit does not allow the mount to "walk" around on the rear causing the issues. UMI did a great job on this and for the price it's a great deal.

Okay, cool. I was about convinced on the Strange 12-bolt, which I can get slightly cheaper, but the Moser seems to have some advantages as well with their larger housing, but the one major drawback was the torque arm mount. If this clears it up then I am stuck between the two.
Either way, I'd be using the Eaton modified 33-spline HD POSI... I know Strange has better axles and typically builds them better, but eh. I'll double check the gear setup when I get the rearend in.
