thats the question will a fays 2 watts link fit on a 12 bolt rear end setup for a f body?

It should, as the axle tube brackets use an insert/spacer on the 10-bolt's smaller tubes. I sold mine a while back, so can't measure "propeller"-to-diff cover clearance. Just call Jim Faye and ask him....he should know

If you have an aluminum cover, shoot me an email and I can walk you through the mods needed. I know who bought it from me and can likely get you the dimensions of the one part I had turned on the lathe.

This is the biggest issue.



I had one with my Moser 12 bolt and the aluminum rear cover.

It can be done.

Yes it is a aluminum moser covor I belive. I am looking at buying a 12 bolt in the for sale section.

I would definetly like to stay with the watts link like I planned.

I wonder if the MWC watts link will fitt differently. it looks to be smaller.

I would definetly like to know what you did to get it to fit.

sounds like this wont be a issue then and if so some small modification would be needed. Now I need to find a Driveshaft any suggestions for great prices on a aluminum pst?

Was it the same cover shown or the Chrome one? Chrome is no problem. The Aluminum one eats up at least 1/2" more. Mine had at least 1/4" interference. I can not image the chassis being that far out.

I talked to Fayes many times and they had never tried it nor had anyone do it at the time. Chrome cover was no problem, they even show one on the website intalled with a 12 bolt with the chrome cover.

Yes I have the bigger aluminum cover. At first i was concerned until i got the Fays watts link on my car. It is close. But not like yours was.

That is what I am running now too. Installed anyway, yet to turn a wheel.

While you have the chance get them to upgrade the rod ends on the Watts. Other than that it is a really nice set up. Not likley more than an extra $30-$50. The ones in my pictures are upgraded ones and double the strength.

Pics of it installed.

I have the Fays2 watts link with a 12 bolt Moser & Moser aluminum girdle. It is close, but it fits and works perfect.
