Does anyone know the measurements for the lower control arm bumper spacer for B body cars with 15 inch wheels? I lost mine and want to make new ones.

Originally they are .237" thick, but 1/4" is very close.
The reproductions I make are on the right, original on the left.

Do you have to install these spacers if you're switching from 14" to 15" wheels? If so, where are these spacers located?

Thanks!
David

Dave,
are yours bare steel or treated/plated in some manner?

They were painted yellow on my car, like the transmission mount and rear axle bumper plates.

I just checked my dealer parts catalog (1969 Passenger Car Parts Catalog) - other than station wagon, the spacer (2071470) is used on all V8 Dodges. No mention is made of tire size, unless I'm looking at the wrong place...?
