The Jim Meyer ‘53-62 ‘vette rearend kit places the narrowed (any width) 9-inch housing in the stock location for a stock appearance (under the fender). The kit (with some welding required) features QA1, aluminum, adjustable coilover shocks, with a three position lower mounting point on the housing, 4-link adjustable urethane-bushed control arms (1-inch od X .156-inch wall seamless tube), and an adjustable urethane-bushed Panhard bar that bolts to the housing and needs the frame bracket welded into position. The forward mounting point for the 4-link bracket locates into the stock frame-mounted forward spring hangers. This is where more welding will need to be done, along with a couple of upper coilover-mount supports that also need to be added/welded for additional strength. The stock driveshaft can also be retained, since only a new U-joint may be required with two different cup sizes. A new Round-Back Currie housing & axles are additional.
