Rear End Alignment???

[rhtopdown]

If you cut some off wouldn't leave a sharp edge that might cut a tire?

If you leave it sharp it will be sharp. you can sand it smooth, probably get it more smooth than it is now.

I bought one of the eastwood wheel lip rollers. It works great. before i bought it we used a baseball bat between the tire and the lip and roll the car back and forth.

Try this, Your rear end should be, 571/2" to 58.0" I think it's 571/2" Out side of drum to out side. A 72-77 Mav -Comet 8" rear is 561/2" out side to out side. it is a direct bolt in .same distance between spring mts. You have to use 67- 70 Mustang v-8 shock plates and u bolts because your rear end has tapered axle tubes and the Mav- Comet rear end has straight tubes. The 8" Mav-Comet rear is stronger .The axles are the same size as a 9" You can buy the bolts and plates From Ntl Parts Depot For about $25.00. I assume your Comet Is a 64-65. This should give you 1/2" better clearance on both sides. Be sure to ck. you b/s on your wheels.
