    Ahhhhhh eBay swayaway spring plate

    So I have won a spring plate described as swb, but when delivered it states 68-89.
    Can I use this? I'm guessing it will be the wrong length? Any pearls of wisdom here?
    Same deal with front and rear elephant racing poly bronze bushes. Damnit.

    I've cut them down to fit a SWB. not hard. SAW plate splines can be a real headache. for adjustability better to cut down a set of later factory spring plates.

    Haycat911 has it right, the sway away unit can be difficult and the tab you adjust against just looks weak. stock LWB adjustable sets are very reasonably priced,
    ERP makes a stunning set of adjustable spring plates, but also more $$$
    If you have bushing sets for a 71 lwb, that is on my short list to upgrade the suspension on the 71 Targa, drop me a note.

    Regards
