I don't think the later 8.5 is much lighter, if at all.
More light weight goodies are available for the 12 bolt.
By the time you piece together an 8.5 at the correct width, you won't save much.
Just buy a complete Moser deal and bolt it in.
I'm not the type to just throw money at these cars, but in this case, it makes the most sense.
