Default Moser nodular third member, Tq Arm bracket wont fit

Hey guys, this nine inch rear end assembly was already in the car with a "truck" center section(looks just like a nodular case but without the "N") I found that the rear pinion support was cracked. I had to trim the "ribs" on that case for the bracket to fit. This new one is not even close, even if the ribs were trimmed back, the "bulge" in the left front of the case itself will not allow the bracket to come back far enough for the holes to line up. Anyone encountered this? I have an E mail into Moser.

Thanks
David

Get a die grinder and notch it out, it won't hurt anything. The 9+ center is worse.

I had to trim my factory case, even trimming the ribs OFF the case will not fix the prob.
