Piecing together CVD's for the 10t

[JosephS]

Hey all as part of my VanAir build I am working on getting things as correct as I can.

What MIP bones are the same length as the as what is needed for the 10T? Did the t2/t3/GT have MIP bones of the correct length?

The original car had a MIP® #1301 Aluminum CVD Kit and used #9608B wheel spacers.

I am not sure that I can source, or afford, that part exactly, but I would still like MIP CVD's

To start off I got a MIP axles and rebuild kit parts off of custom works https://www.customworksrc.com/product/mip-cvd-axle/. AFAIK this should fit the rear hubs and give me a 3/16 axle. I am hoping I can find the length right bones and maybe replace them with the aluminum ones if I can find a set that's reasonable.

It look like to complete this I will need a replacement of the #9608B wheel spacer. Does anyone know of a direct replacement? Is it just a washer? If I was going to run clamping hex would I still need the adapter?

the parts are out there, but you will pay a premium as far as mip bones. just have to keep your eyes peeled on ebay and the like.

as for the spacers, they are hard to find I believe, but if you talk to Jeff at Factory Works (GomachV), I think he offers something that is similar and would work for you.

If using 12mm adapters the wheel spacers wouldn’t help him

[jwscab]

Yeah, but if he needs the washers, you have a solution. I glossed over the hex part.

Jeff sell these as a replacement for the 9608, for axle mounted wheels.

For hexes, use shims to remove excess play.

For the bones, do the t2/t3/gt ones work?

[jwscab]

Pretty sure since t2 would be identical to rc10t.

Thanks for that. I've never built a CVD but it was about the same cost as dogbones and b4 axles if I got all the right parts.
