I could not find that website hot part.com what do I look for on ebay . I think some one replaced mine with the later style .It looks like I have the retainer bolt thing in the wheelwell .How did the older ones mount

 

Just read the bearing plate post and see that they both have the retainer bolt plate . I will have to bring my part in and compare to the photos .I like those hotparts but just cant fined them on ebay

 

type in caster camber plates on ebay and youll find em ther are 2 on there

 

Thanks guys I do have the 82-86 plates ,James your photos wer verry helpful. Now the ? is can I get the stock style aftermaket replacements for the 82-86 (Part nubers).

 

I have the older style HotPart design and I love them. I would reccomend theirs.

 

no you cant find a 82-86 retainer they are all 82-92 and you need the new 3 stud piece///

 

Thanks for the help just bought the hotpart ones one ebay .

 

Just to clarify, the ones that HotPart sells is for the newer style 87-92?

 

I belive that the come with thier own bolt plate .If not I will have to get the newer styel bolt retainer . My parts with be hear tomarrow I will post up and let you know .

 

Ok my hotpart C&C plates came today . They come with all the hardwhere and the bolt retainer is the same as the early year cars (82-86).They look real good, but I do not think I can get the stock dust cover to work . I will have to fab something up .Thanks guys if I remeber I will post up when I drive with them . It will be a few more weeks .
