I am going 5lug, and they would plug and redrill my stock ones. But like I said I'm going to call them tomorrow figure out why they can't do them. I'd like to run a custom alloy instead of stock, but well see, they got my hubs on the way there to redrill currently

dont go for pluged holes and resplines. All they need to do is get the right blank. If they cant do it, call around to the many compines and see if you can get some one who will do it... After all the 90-93 1500 SS chevy trucks had 14 bolts with a factory 5 lug. That was the only time they came that way with a 5 lug set up... I bet Strange, Superioraxle, Maybe even Toms Axles or even MarkWilliams would do it... MW would probally be $$$ Though.

Keep us posted on what develops on that. I too was thinking about a custom axle, but I am not that far along yet...

Yea, trust me I planned on doing all I can to get custom set. The hubs is one to to plug and drill, axles I don't want to. I'll post up tomorrow the outcome

well I just got off the phone with just about EVERY axle manufacturer in the US, NO one can make custom axles for a c clip 14b 9.5" looks like narrowing and resplining is my only option.

I talked to Moser, Strange, Dutchman and someone else, they all said the same thing NO one offers them. Only respline, there isn't enough demand for them, and most guys will convert to ford ends if they narrow.
