Title: Spring Plate / U-bolt Plate Help..
Post by: ynwa on April 04, 2011, 02:06:09 PM
OK, I've ripped the whole rear end out of my sedan (check out project cars post) after finding some serious cancer on some of the suspension pieces. One of the fatalities was the left spring plate. So I have 2 questions..

1. Are there any safe 'Fabs' that I can do with some thick steel
2. Do any Nesters have any spare plates that I can buy?? (happy to repost in 'wanted') but looking for some possible ideas as there are NO eagles in any yards around these parts. (cross pollination from Cherokee perhaps?)

Thanks!

Ok, one last kick at the can here. My local shops are having a hard time finding gear for me.
I was wondering if anyone can confirm that the Cherokee XJ Hangars are compatible with the Eagle?

Insight into after market ubolt plates will be super appreciated as well.

Thanks! Getting close to install and need to gather the goods.

I have at least one, maybe two plates here in reasonable condition if you're interested, send me a PM.
