I don't know if you can buy them, one service rep said that the are not available to be sold as loose brackets. But when I emailed Matt back and told him I was disapointed he got the mounts shipped out. You will have to call Moser and ask for Matt McCombs and see what he can do for you.

But I will post pics when I get here

Those dont look all that bad with the LCA mounts also. The perchs are really easy to cut off. I may have to buy these on the next one.

Looks good. I am jealous. my housing ends and brackets showed up today. I sent the brackets back and the housing ends weren't the right part number so I had to send those back as well. Frustrating!

**** man that sucks. This weekend I'm going to bring the 8.8 into the shop and tack something up. Only problem is my tank is almost empty so I won't make it too far Unless my dads a hero and took it in for an exchange for me, I have no time to make the trip

I feel alot better now that I'm not using any of the old ****. So the stocker is finally getting dropped out of my junk so I can take some measurements and angles and tack on these brackets. And get the lower bag mounts tacked on And it gives me a chance to get my brakes off so I can sell those too.

Well today I knocked off a bunch of misc. stuff. I ordered from ballasticfab and got axle tabs, tubing adapters, front shock tabs, DOM tubing. So all I need for my 4 link bars are the rod ends and spacers.

I'm going to try to get something done this weekend, but it is the Super Bowl and I'm from Wisconsin so I gotta watch it, but if any progress is made I'll post up some pics

Brackets are now part of the 8.8 housing I had to modify the shock tabs but no big deal, they would have worked, but I wanted the LCA mounts to be fully welded so I trimmed the shock mount and then welded it to the LCA bracket. Only problem is that I forgot my camera but I'll take some pics next weekend

But the rear axle is under the car right now and I got all of the extra brackets on friday and my heims showed up saturday. Tuesday my axles, ring and pinion, and brakes show up. Now I need to pull my interior and do some more fabbing.

So I'm really happy with the brackets after all is said and done
