Ken, any possibility that wildwood sent you the wrong stuff? Just sayin', it happens. Even though it wasn't the greatest setup, the cpp stuff fit. Damn beater issues.

Nope !!!......They sent the correct parts for a 12 bolt with stock axle bearings.....The mounting of the Wilwood system is completely different than the "Floating" CPP set-up......Just got the bad Luck of the draw when I bought the housing.......
