The plates have two 90 degree bends at each end, a slotted hole, and the bolts for the upper control arms run through them. One of mine was cut by a previous owner for some obviously stupid reason and I am trying to see if I can get one new.

I don't know the name but I'm pretty sure no one makes/repro that peice that welds into the shock tower assy. I'd think the closest you'd get is an whole NOS shock tower assy. Look to welding and fabricating a piece to replace that. OR finding that piece good used. Then seperating it from the used shock tower and replacing yours.

I forgot to measure it last night but if i new the thickness I could get a piece of key stock or sheet stock while I am at work today. Last edited by bigsbigelow; 04/29/10 11:14 AM.
