Rear spring perches

Post by Jerry Young » Sun Jan 26, 2025 11:02 am

Is the threaded part of the rear spring perches longer on a later rear end than earlier cars? The perch I have measures 1" in length from the mounting surface to the end of the threads, just protruding 1/4" past the backing plate. Both sets I have are this size. May be a dumb question but there it is :D
Thanks
Jerry

I don’t know the answer to your question, but you will get more responses if you repost in the General Discussion Forum. This forum section is more intended to address issues with the use of the forum software itself.

I figured it out, had two problems - I was trying to use the wrong nuts (too thick) and the perches I was trying to use were worn down on the thread end, took the pieces off my old rear end and all is well, thanks to all who offered help.
