you'll probably have to grind on the mounting bracket and/or slot the holes some.

how much grinding will be needed.We grinded the plate on the torque arm and it still doesn't fit.It looks like we will have to grind on the mounting plate on the rear end but it looks like a lot of grinding needs to be done.

The problem is it seems like alot of grinding to make it fit.So far we have tryed two plates from two moser 9 inchs.On the first one nothing lines up and on the second one the the bolt hole in the front lines up.The second hole needs grinding (about 1/4 of an inch) on the plate of the 9 inch to make it fit.Is that too much to grind off.We also tryed the torque arm on a stock z29 and fit perfect with no problem .Is there a TQ arm with better fit on a moser 9 inch.

I have a BMR adj torque arm and I grinded the upper and lower mounting plates on the torque arm. To help limit the grinding I ground a little bit on the moser torque arm mount as well. If you look at it you will notice a raised radius and that's what the torque arm bracket is hitting on. Between grinding the bracket a bit and grinding those radius (both top and bottom) I was able to get mine to fit no problems.
