Backing plate T-bolts I saw something about this on here but couldn't find it.
Anyways, on my Moser 9", the T-bolts seem too short. With the lock washer on, the bolt does not come through the nut. With it off, there are a few threads coming through.
What is everyone doing?

i actually just had my axles out yesterday to replace the bearings. the bolts dont come all the way through the nut on mine either. although i dont think that they really could because the nuts are almost up against the reluctor ring (4 channel) i just put some blue locktite on there and called it a day.

I remember being concerned about that. I ended up putting it together with Locktite and star type washers.
Mine is three channel but I still don't think there was enough clearance to use flat and lock washers. Never the less, maybe a slightly longer T-bolt would be the ticket.

Mine is 3 channel also, so I had room to get a flex head ratchet wrench in there.
Isn't red loctite stronger than blue? I used red so hopefully those things won't come loose.
Bob @ EPP should petition to Moser to start including slightly longer T-bolts!

Ford Racing M-4002-B consists of eight 3/8x24x1.30" t-bolts and self locking nuts. I think the lock nuts with the big shoulder might be the way to go.
.....How long are the Moser T-bolts?

My t-bolts were too short also. I realized that my 9 inch housing wasn't machined deep enough and that my axle bearings were keeping the brake backing plate from mounting directly to the housing. Took some measurements and had a friend machine just enough space in the backing plate so that it mounted directly to the housing and not the axle bearing.

Bought it brand new from driveline solutions. Took that route because I didn't feel like sending everything off again. Moser sent me 2 driver side axles and my car was down for a few weeks already. Everything works fine now except for a leaky axle seal.
