using c clip eliminator on 72 axles in 68 rearend

[twillie2460]

Well tring to keep my original rear end as I like the gearing but wanting to go to 5 lug axles. I am kicking around the idea of using a Moser c clip eliminator with my 72 axles and that way I can cut them down the 3/4 inch to make them the right size and I get rid of the clips and keep my orignal housing and gears. Two brothers throwing ideas around and now I think this could work and would like any and all thoughts.
