Edit:
I just called Spohn and told him my story. He said that it's okay to grind the bracket and use the other holes. He also said, they only use 1 bracket now that fits all axles (10 bolt, 12 bolt, 9") and thats the one with the two sets of holes. The one bracket in the picture with one set of holes is an older style bracket.

Re: good torque arm? Yep. I forgot to ask about the strange. He had mentioned that all 12 bolts seam to be different. Maybe I got an odd one since I didn't order directly from Moser but it is a Moser housing.

Re: good torque arm? looking at the pictures of the sphon it looks like the front loop is redundant. If the front were to fail it'd be held up by the mount. It'd tear the (*&(^ out of everything but wouldn't let you catapult your rear end off...more than likely it'd waste your exhaust and pan, but stll less of an issue than tearing your rear off at warp speed.

Re: good torque arm? Front driveshaft damage:

I know it's a sprint car but DAMN!
I guess when it comes to safety, you can never be too redundant. I take my comment back about the rear loop being redundant.
