Why the hell would they not make proper axles for the 12 bolt that work with their own c clip eliminators? I was also looking at wilwood for a rear disc kit to work with eliminators and they only make it for one type of 12 bolt flange and its not mine. i have the impala/truck flange and its huge and nothing frickin fits it. if there's anybody out there who could help me out with my situation that'd be great.
It's because the axle is kinda oddball, car center diff mixed with truck ends. From my research you have to go with custom axles. From what I've seen the best option is the moser weld on ends and custom axles.

I know c-clip eliminators are a nice safety upgrade but a set of aftermarket axles are a significant upgrade over stock. Are you planning on putting a lot of power to it later on?

Cant help you on the c clip eliminator question, but if you car has the truck axle flanges and you are looking for a clean and inexpensive rear disc brake set up, you can try these. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=382633 I have a set of these on my '72 Blazer, with '96 Camaro calipers and Impala SS rotors to fit the 5 on 5 bolt pattern and they work great. Even the emergency brake works.
