camber plates

Does anyone have, or can anyone provide me with a sketch/drawing of the camber plates and the stud locations? I want to make a custom tower brace and want to sandwich the baseplate under the camber plates. Problem is, I don't have the dimensions needed to design it in Solidworks and send it off to the laser cutter.

Anyone have a set of spares they could measure?

Thanks,

Marck

Re: camber plates

You don't need camber plates on a 3rd-gen. Nor' caster plates. The caster and camber adjustments are easily made with the stock upper strut mounts.

Re: camber plates

That's what I mean, those strut mounts. I want to sandwich a plate between that and the body so I can build a brace between the 2 towers. I don't want to use aftermarket stuff, I want to build my own with stainless steel. However, for that I would need to know the dimensions of the strut mount and the exact location of the 3 studs.

Re: camber plates

I have a pair of strut mounts sitting right here, but my scanner is giving me fits.

Re: camber plates

Yes, perfect. Only one measurement is needed to get it right, the exact distance (horizontal in that pic) between the 3 slots, that way I can orientate the triangular measurements of the 3 studs in relation to the direction of the slots.

Thanks
