View Full Version : WTB leaf spring plates.. yammiman Oct 12th, 08, 07:29 AM for a 67 Nova - looked everywhere and can't find any - found new for 68 and newer but no 67 - let me know if you have any!! Philip Oct 12th, 08, 07:39 AM Does your car have staggered or non staggered shocks? What is the spacing on the holes? I am using 67 Camaro plates on my 77 Nova to eliminate the staggered shocks. I purchased them from Detroit Speed and Engineering yammiman Oct 12th, 08, 08:19 AM Non staggered - both on the front of the axle angled toward the center of the car - the spacing is approximately 3-3/8" front to back and approximately 3-3/4" side to side (hard to be exact lying on my back) LOL! Philip Oct 12th, 08, 08:33 AM That is real close to the Camaro plates I bought from DSE. Have you contacted them in your search? If not give them a try. The plates are twice as thick as the stock ones I took off, real nice part.http://www.detroitspeed.com/productpages/indproduct/rearsuspensionprod/lower_shock_plates_prod_test.htm yammiman Oct 12th, 08, 12:51 PM Those do look good - I'll call them - thanks a bunch!! Philip Oct 12th, 08, 01:53 PM Now that I have had my coffee here are some photos of them installed. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j199/64elcamino/77%20Nova%20project/rear%20end/springplate2.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j199/64elcamino/77%20Nova%20project/rear%20end/springplate.jpg 1slow64 Oct 12th, 08, 04:04 PM I have the original plates from my 64. I installed cal-tracs which comes with plates. $25.00 and you pay shipping. jeff yammiman Oct 12th, 08, 07:05 PM ...I have the original plates from my 64... You guarantee them to fit a 67? 1slow64 Oct 13th, 08, 10:34 AM I'm not sure if they will fit. If somebody knows and wants to chime in that would be great. I am going to my friends fabrication shop today. I will find out. SHIFTY4 Oct 13th, 08, 12:54 PM they'll fit... bolt 'em on :thumbsup: |
