    End Coverings for Adjustable Spring Plates

    I need two of the covers for the rear torsion bar to spring plates. Or if anyone has the part number that would be great. (Not listed in PET) Photo of the arm with the plate missing.Name: IMG_3534.jpg Views: 251 Size: 53.6 KB

    Not stock for sure but they work well. I bought these from ace hardware. They are trailer hitch covers and fit perfect.

    This piece...... I bet someone could make some?

    And I just got mine back from platers, wondering the best way to put them back in.

    One way would be to use a socket, close to the diameter of the plug, to hammer it in, then a blow in the centre with a copper hammer should expand the convex shape enough to hold it tight (you could also carefully restake as per factory, but that will marr the anodise somewhat.)

    Don't overthink it.

    Just use epoxy. Sparingly.

    Is there a source for these? I could use one as I have a poor substitute on one of mine
