question on the Caltracs

[DavidLee]

I got a setup of Caltrac 4200 Drag 2 hole profile setup.

I noticed the spring plate does not come with a shock mounting stud.

What would you recommend? This is for a 67 Barracuda

OH, that sucks.
From doing an image search for those I see people added a plate with the stud on it like mancini sells, so it looks like some investigation on that part or some fab is coming.

it has the plate with the mounting hole, just no stud.

I was thinking about these. The specs are here

Threads at bracket end are 1/2"-20 x 1 1/8". Threads at shock end are 7/16"-20 x 7/8".
Overall Length
3.625
Overall Diameter
1.25
Stud Length
1.250

Just use a properly sized grade 8 bolt and call it good.

the stud on the stock mounts are too big for the shock's grommet

Mine did !! like the ones in the above pic. I think I had to change shock bushings , if I remember right.

I just checked the caltracs I bought for my 66 Dart. I haven't installed them yet, but they came with a shock stud kit. Part #SB-01. You may want to call Calvert and ask them.

i found them finally, there must have been some glue on the packaging. because tons of peanuts were stuck to the package.
