73 Dart Swinger "Tetanus"

OK To jog my memory back that far, the total 8 5/8" IS total width of the housing. As I remember, the offset was only a couple of inches. With the tape measure, I'd found out that if I narrowed 4 5/16" from both sides, it would be the same stock width and drop right in. Now, I kinda wish I'd shaved another inch from both sides. I got my 8,8 from a yard ($100) Crown Vic. Had to fab up my spring perches and for a lifetime, I do all of my own welding :-) The hydraulic fitting are all metric. So you'll have to make some tubing and the Ford to Dodge emergency brake cable connection was just a crafty little SAE/MM coupler.
I probably didn't help much. If you need some better, more specific pics, Just ask. She's up on the stands getting my paint job polished AND I jumped into the idea of custom gauges. Geez...
