Title: Rear Leaf Spring shock mounting plate
Post by: Adz28 on March 16, 2008, 07:22:36 PM
Can someone confirm that the rear leaf spring shock plate for a multi-leaf (z/28) application would have a single shock support as opposed to the double version?

Thanks.

My '68 Z/28 has the single shock version.  They're original to the car.     :)

Thanks again... Once installed, how much space (if any) should be between the shock plate and the axle mounts?

Once bolted together, the rubber pads compress and the mounting plate is flush/ no space against the axle mount.

This photo shows space, but I loosened the bolts already:
