      DSE Rear floater kit install

      Hey folks, looking for some advice. I'm thinking about getting the new DSE floater kit for my 70 Camaro build but I've hit a snag. So here's the story, I have already installed the DSE Quadralink kit in the Camaro and all the brackets are welded to the 12 bolt I plan on using. DSE will sell me the kit without a rear end housing so I'll be able to get the floater ends welded onto my 12 bolt. Here's the problem, I haven't been able to find a shop that can weld the ends on. Since these aren't the traditional torino ends the shops I've talked to don't want to attempt the install since they don't have a jig to lock the ends on square. Anyone on here know of a shop that can install something like this in the MA, NH area?

      Thanks,
      Matt

      Sell existing 12 bolt, buy new 12 bolt, take the hit.

      Pay someone to machine fixturing ends, take the hit.

      Contact MillerBuilt on Lateral-G and see if you can purchase a set of fixture ends from him.

      Contact MillerBuilt on Lateral-G and purchase floating setup from him and he will loan the fixturing to you for installation.

      Contact DSE and see if you can send them your rear end to install the floater ends. Having said that, it does not take a rocket scientist to make a straight shaft and a couple of bushings to use as an alignment gage to weld the ends on.

      Yeah, I assumed that he had already asked about sending his housing back.

      ...while it's not rocket surgery, it must be complicated because I have straightened an awful lot of new housings.
