Need help quick!!! no center section but must roll car!

[BeerB8AmmoGRITS]

I need some advice. I have all of the suspension and rear moser 9" axle housing installed on my car (68 camaro). I am moving next week and the 9" center section I ordered a month ago has not arrived yet (never believe 3-7 business days) and now I can't get in contact with the shop I ordered it from to get a tracking number. Tried the last 4 days...


Is there a way to install the axles to roll the car without the center section and messing anything up? The axles are 35 spline with willwood brakes. I just need to roll it about a hundred feet and get it loaded on my trailer. I don't want to risk damaging the housing or any of the suspension components by being stupid about this but I didn't know if it was possible just to put some tubing in the center just slightly larger ID than the axle shafts OD to provide a little support...




Thanks again for any ideas!

Yes, you can do that.

Even PVC pipe, or something like that.

^That's what I did. I have an 8-3/4" rearend in my 65 Dart without a center section. I needed to roll it, so I just bought PVC from Home Depot. Worked great.

Awesome! I never thought about PVC, I ended up finding a piece of exhaust pipe that fit well, but I like the idea of PVC though cause there would be no danger of gouging any of the axle splines.

Thanks a lot! Crisis diverted
