Adapter plate?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Can anybody give me some sort of dimesion of the adapter plates needed to put coils on the rear?

I bought a front and rear kit from Eddie. I have installed the front only for now.
Looking at it you might want to see if Eddie can sell you the plates. I don't think that they would cost to much. They have a pin in the center and it has a hole drilled in it, also the corners are folded over at a 90 degree angle. I can measure it but it is more than just a flat plate.

Its basically just a sqaure piece of sheet metal with bent over corners to hold the spring in place, then the pin on top goes into a hole on the frame of the car. Its simple... I just need rough measurements.

No problem.
The plate is 3/32's inch thick, 7 1/2 inchesbsquare, 1/2 inch long bolt in center, 3/8 's of an inch in diameter (bolt). It does have one hole big enough for a 3/8's bolt drilled in it on one of the flat sides. The folds look to be 1 3/4 inch in from the tip of the corner of the plate. Hope this helps.
