Help! 9" rx2 rearend

Ok, I am getting really frustrated and need some help. I am trying to find a shop that will make me a ford 9" to fit into my rx2 to the factory rear suspension.

So far I have tried, Currie enterprises- can't make brackets- to much work, Cooks- pretty much same response. And a couple of other shops that said, "rx what?" I am now waiting for a price quote from Hoopers but I heard bad stories with this shop. WTF- and I keep hearing how bad the economy is and I can't find a f-ing shop that will fabricate a couple of brackets and put a ford 9" together! I guess I'm in the wrong business. Sorry with the spew, I am just very frustrated. Anyways, does anyone know where I can go? If not I am forced to make my own brackets I guess. BTW- rx2's have the 4 link coil over shock rearend set up. I just don't see why it's so hard for a rearend shop who does this kind of work all the time?

Try these guys. They do custom rears all the time including welding brackets. Well respected in muscle car circles. Just be sure to look at the pinion to ring contact pattern before they install it. They've been known not to set it right.

WTF does this response above have anything to do with a ford 9" Teddy?

That's it know I am going to go back to your rx7 thread and make more fat jokes.
