LCA relocation brackets on 12 bolt; install issue
So a couple years ago I picked up a set of lower control arm relocation brackets (WELD-IN) for my lt1 car. at that point i had a 10 bolt. The car was in an accident and i never installed the brackets. Well I built another car a year later, only this time with a moser 12 bolt. So it seems that these brackets will not fit the moser rear end in any way. Anyone had any experience with this? I tried 'mocking' them up under the car every which way I could and they just don't seem to be even remotely close to working out. For starters the brackets don't fit around the metal (or inside) for that matter on the rear end. Like I'd have to SQUEEZE the bracket together to get it to even fit in. And even if I did that it doesn't look like the holes will line up for the control arm. I don't know, it's wierd. If anyone has any pics or knows of an install page or something that would be great.
I bought the brackets used (not really used, they were new but never installed) I am pretty sure they are made by BMR. Anyway they didn't come with any instructions so i'm at a loss. I also don't have a lot of experience with suspension junk. I could get some pics up if anyone thinks it would help.

I don't know about the BMR relo brackets, but Spohn sells one set of brackets for stock, Strange and Currie rear axle assemblies, and a different set for the Moser rears. That's because Moser's LCA bracket does not match the stock piece. All others do.

We offer a set of weld in relocation brackets specifically for the Moser rear ends. The item # is 2011 and it can be purchased through one of our dealers which are sponsors on this site.
The brackets designed for the factory rear end are to narrow and will not fit over the Moser control arm mounts.
If I can help anymore please ask. Thank you!

Hummmmmm...... I think I am going to MAKE them fit
nothing a die grinder can't handle I bet. I'm only in need of probably 1/16th of an inch either way... so i'll shave off a little here and a little there, and bend a little this way and that and see what I come up with. If that doesn't take care of it, I'll bet a B.F.H. will help persuade things along. It's not like I've got anything to lose! I can't return them to the guy who i bought them from new/used nearly 3 years ago.
