i recently picked up some suspension parts from another member here on the forum (interesting hybrid coilover setup consisting of small bearing rx-7 spindle, milled to accept an earlier 70's nissan 240Z strut tube and rebuilt with revalved koni yellow shocks) as a perk, the struts came with the whole lower section of a ground control caber plate set up, but unfortunately its missing the upper plate. luckily i know a few people who work at machine shops or have access to mills that will be able to make a set of upper plates pretty easily. can anyone please give me some accurate dimensions or drawings of the Ground control upper plate so i can get a pair of plates made?

 

Sorry, don't have any dimensions for you..

Are you going to have them anodized after they're machined?

 

you might wanna just call GC and see how much they'd sell the upper plate for, it might not be bad.

anyways i can get you the slider/bolt spacings. if you felt like it you can actually add more caster, or cut it diagonal or something

 

i will call GC up and see if they will even sell the plate by itself without the whole kit tomorrow. im not going to put the suspension parts in until march or so, so i have a little time. in the mean time, i will just start measuring and formulating a game plan. My biggest problem, simply put, is that i have to keep any further rx-7 related purchases under "the radar" to avoid listening to the wife... its much easier done by doing cash jobs locally vs. online CC purchases.

if i do get the upper plates made, i will probably just paint or powder coat them as i dont have local access (that i know of) to places that can anodize
