Title: Source for original Leaf Spring Cup?
Post by: simplemitch on September 22, 2021, 02:01:10 PM: I damaged my driver side leaf spring mounting cup (GM p/n: 3892751) while trying to remove a seriously seized up leaf spring. Everyone that sells reproductions sells Hugger Performance and they are absolutely TERRIBLE. I tried looking for a used factory bracket at Heartbeat City and Camaro Central, but neither had one. Anybody know of any other sources for an OEM bracket (or a repro that isn’t trash)?

Apologies if this is the wrong subforum for this question.

Some Camaro forums have Classified sections.....

Depending on where you live - Fall Carlisle is quickly approaching.

Good Luck!!

Sauron327, if Camaro Specialties is a bust would you be interested in parting with yours?
If so, shoot me a pic and a price.

Technically, a recommendation to any vendor or shop is a buying and selling thread. Lost track of how many times a poster asked about where to buy parts or get parts rebuilt. You are going to have to ban them all.

Post by: Sauron327 on September 24, 2021, 04:53:57 PM: OK. Got it. I'll just say I know people who have a stockpile of parts somebody needs. Sure is a gray area when a person is selling a lifetime collection of parts. Some of us actually work on these cars seven days a week. I'm not Ground Up or Camaro Specialties but am buried in this business and hobby. Hobby car people who dabble have it made.

Post by: KurtS on September 25, 2021, 09:38:58 PM: We've had some recent offline discussions about this. I'm OK with these greyer posts. ;)
I don't have an issue with someone asking where to source a part and if it's not widely available, someone offering it up. Just take it to PM's then. This thread is a perfect example of the community supporting itself.
Straight up 'I want to buy / sell' posts will be deleted.
