I too asked them the same question, said no to me too. I went with moser as well. Monzamouse sells four link brackets that are very nice that I used.
Here's a pic of my setup. Moser fan 9" with Monzamouse brackets.
Thats a nice set up. What was your width? Also, how much pinion offset did you have? Any pics of what you did as far as the mounts on the body? Sold my rv today and went to order moser rear, but summit said I would need to wait until monday. So everyone has until monday to help with ideas on what to do. Lol

Below is the tub and the 2" strip cut out.
Then cut a 2" strip out of each side and put it all back together.
Monsamouses brackets don't correct the geometry but there is drawing on here for them to fan your own. I'll see if I can find it.

THINK HE MIGHT HAVE MEANT 2.25" LONGER THAN STOCK VEGA AXLE. I think we are talking about the same places we are taking our measurements from. i also think if ordering the custom housing, we would ask for a 1 1/4" pinion offset to match the engine offset, and there would still be enough clearance in the driveshaft tunnel. would someone please verify what i have just mentioned. i could be wrong with my measurements of my thinking of how things should be art

I'm referring to the actual Axel flange, not the housing flange where the backing plate would be.
Difference in mine too is I'm using a motor plate, but with the location the Don Hardy mounts would put it.
