Available in 3.062, 3.250, and 3.812 bore sizes; all Moser Aluminum cases are drilled for the 3/8 stock pinion studs and 7/16 heavy-duty studs. The aluminum cases are also designed to be used with either a standard pilot bearing with snap ring retention, or a heavy duty, wider pinion bearing utilizing button head bolts for retention is available. Moser Performance Cases weigh only 16 lbs., 15 lbs. lighter than our Nodular Iron Cases, are CMM checked for machining accuracy, and are supplied with all Grade 8 hardware.
uh... that's obviously a thru-bolt case, which i said would be ok the strange and mark williams cases are still better IMO, but any of them are better than a stock replacement aluminum.

Moser customer service sucks huge donkey *****!! They drop shipped my axles to me for my MWC 9 and they placed the wrong spacer on them. After calling them and told them measurements as they asked they took 2 weeks to approved to have them shipped back. That was only because Eric called them twice to see what the problem was.

they shipped me back the correct spacer pressed on the axle and a nice cut mark in my axle where they removed the wrong spacer. So they screwed me for 3 weeks waiting to install my rear because they believe they don't make mistakes the customer does; ********

Yes, you are correct that the Moser is a thru bolt case. But now you have me as you were obviously referring to the Moser alum as not being a thru bolt, as you said if you want the weight savings, to go with a Strange or Mark Williams thru bolt case.

Had I not said anything, you would of had people assuming the Moser alum case was not a thru bolt, and that it was a junk piece. Bob

It will all come down to preference, each person has their own story as to why they do or don't like it.

It sounds to me that MWC will make you one for your exact set up. Not just take one and attach parts to make it fit.

This is true, we can get you a rear end set up anyway you can possibly dream up. We are not limited to one manufactures parts. That is one of the benefits of going with us. You ask for it and we make it happen.

the only arguement i have to this. is when i called strange and told them i was planning on runnning over 1000 horse with a 9" rear. they said dont do the alum case.

and when i called moser they said there alum case has ran far above 1000 and had no problems.

------------------

and to the OP. i have a Moser alum case MWC rear end full asembled By erice with panhard bar delete and Watts link added. and rear coil over brackets added. also has a Wavetec. best money i ever spent ona rear.

Quite a few of us have been at or over 1000 rwhp with a Moser alum case without any problems. I know my car took a beating with the M9 with the alum case without any problems. Who knows, maybe the Moser cases are stronger. I guess it's good that is what you have. Bob

Its also nice to talk to Eric, the guy who is building your rearend, not just a salesmen. The personal affect of this is a feeling of security before dropping $3000. Both are a good product, Eric doesnt have the manpower or want it for this fact of Moser, because he has his hands in every single Fabricated rearend, every part that is ordered, and ever wish each customer has. Not a bash towards moser, but to keep it apples to apples, personalizing a race part these days has something behind it. As for the aluminum center section, If you do a thru-bolt, it will take pretty much whatever you throw at it. trust me..i know.

I went with midwest chassis on mine, i love the rearend. It's got strange aluminum center, steel spool, and 35 spline axles, richmond 4.11's. Moser more expensive so i went all strange even the driveshaft. I am happy. Eric helped me figure out several things that i did not know and helped me pick what i wanted. Install was easy too, and done by myself.

I hope you get it in 4-5 weeks, But hell sounds like you spent some coin, Hell i spent a little over 4 grand and didnt get a centersection because i already had one. But bought wheels and all rear suspension and drag brakes it adds up. But Eric is great to deal with and didnt care about how long it took, Only choice if you are looking for a Fab 9 inch is MWC.

Good choice on MWC if your going to spend that kind of money i would go with MWC because of the customer service and you talk to the owner/fabricator.

Default Watts link on MWC9 or M9?

Hello,

Does anyone have a watts link on the MWC9 or M9 rearend? I am more concerned with autocross than drag racing and would like to have that option.

The Fays watts link has axle tube mounts that mount inbourd of the sway bar mounts and looks like it may be close to interfering with the fabricated housings.

Thank you
