ATTN: Kyle Farley.....
Kyle, I got the 5/8" stud kit from moser. It comes w/ the spacers and lugs. The 5/8 kit is actually studs, not bolts like the others. You thread the stud into the flange and put a jam nut on the back side.

You should be able to have your axle flanges drilled for the 5/8" stud. You shouldn't need new axles.
So you were just sitting stopped and the wheel popped off? That's pretty wild. I wonder if the studs were way over torqued and they had a lot of strain on them??

The axles is Joe's call since we had already planned to do 5/8 studs on new axles anyways........
Hmmm i wonder who local could drill the axle flanges??? How much were u charge when u did it Craig????
Kyle
My axles cam with both 1/2" and 5/8" holes offset from each other when I got them. I would think that just about any machine shop could do it.
Scott @ Driveline Solutions can do it for sure, he did mine. They're not far from Stenod, somewhere in the metro detroit area.

Hey now................
Its hot out....LOLHere are a couple more pic's....
Kyle
looks good dropped like that
glad the damage is minimal, sorry you didnt make it to mir yesterday
you could have seen me get 6 seconds in to my first pass before i broke my trans... wasn't a good day for turbo birds i guess.

Damn man that sucks......
i wasnt thinking..... i had planned to go u know...... so what if i a did and it broke like that @ 140mph or so......
Did you drive it there David???
How did ya get it home???
Kyle
Yeah it does....... the reason for new axles is Strange messes up when the axles were sent out to begin with and only 12mm holes were drilled....... so..... whole new 33spline axles with 5/8 studs will be on this one......
Im thinking...... now would be a really good time to change out the gears.....
3.55's or 3.42's.....
Ya gotta find the silver lining in everything.....

i sure wish i was thow. you have a powerglide, right? Taht 3.42 will do good.... why not go for a 3.23? It'll hit a little less but spool that turbo out nice and really stretch the gears out.
Well, what gears do you have on their now?
Glad to see you are alright. Would of sucked to get that at 140mph+ and ruin all those "two weeks" of build and mock up time!! So, mental note, 5/8 studs for the camaro... got it!!!
