Need info for Tom's 1480 kit
I have a 68 Corvette that has the 1480 axle kit from Toms Axels and its installed by the previous owner, so i dont have the manual for this kit.
I am currently converting to Van Steel Coilovers in rear end, and i dont know the torque of the spindle flange castle nut.
Would really appreciate if anybody could help me with this.
And if you have the whole manual in pdf-format i would be more than happy if you could email me this.

Tom is not out of business but extremely busy winding it down.
I have been in touch with him several times lately as I purchase parts for my Gary Ramadei Super 10 rear build.
Best way to reach him is by email that he can answer after a 14hr day.
Mike (Tracdogg2) here on CF uses Tom's stuff and is modifying a friend's 1480 setup to work with the Ridetech TA.
You might try emailing Mike for an answer.
As far as I know, there is no manual to be had...just specs that a builder will have access to.
Good luck.....you certainly have a beefy setup there.

Thanks for info Bman.
I tried to send him a email but no answer yet.
But i got response from Van Steel and they use the torque 100 ft/lbs for the 1480 kit so my problem is solved
Super 10 sounds interesting!
