pics of housing?
pics of housing? does anyone have pics of the moser 12 bolt housing where the torque arm mounts to it? i tried search and its not working and moser doesnt have **** on their website
thanks
thanks
What do you need to see? Search isn't working for me but I made a post a few months back with lots of pictures on installing a 12 bolt.
The housing up front is just like the 12 bolt, with the difference being that the torque arm bolt holes don't go all the way through...you use 4 shorter bolts instead of the two long bolts with nuts on the ends.

would it be possible before installing the rear end to go through and machine two straight through holes instead of the four little ones so it would have a factory style mount out back?
the stock torque arm bolts to the 12 bolt housing the same way as it bolts to the 10 bolt but instead of 2 through bolts you use four shorter ones (just wanted to make sure that was crystal clear). i thought it was easier to mount the four shorter bolts than it was to mount the through bolts. i also did the uninstall and install by myself in my garage with a floor jack and 2 jack stands in 7 hours...pain in the *** but i beat the time i was quoted by 3 shops by 1 hour 
if you drilled the holes all the way through your probably compromising the integrity of the housing, if not drilling through the interior walls
. i would call moser, most of those guys are pretty helpful. if the first guy doesnt know the answer ask to talk to someone else..thats what i did to find the torque specs for the backing plate nuts and bolts 
if you dont mind me asking...why do you want through bolts?

A friend who has a moser 12 bolt found some weird locking bolts that are theoretically impossible to get loose. I didn't really understand his explanation on how they worked, but there is suppose to be a kit for it.

That was the only thing that drove me to a Strange 12-bolt.
This picture here shows our arm installed with a 12-Bolt, it doesn't concentrate much on the torque arm though- http://www.umiperformance.com/images/2004b.jpg
Moser claims there design is like that for the strength of the housing. It is common for the bolts to come loose and when they do its a mess. The problem is once they are loose if you do a hard launch you are going to break something. I don't care what brand torque arm you have or how good it is.. you do a hard launch with finger tight bolts you are going to break it.

which is why i go under my car once a week and check everything.. will be the extra insurance in a couple years when i go with a 12 bolt.
