Check roundy roundy places, Longacre, Lefthander chassis etc etc.
They sell and bolt on versions.
I got catalogs at the shop I could check tomorrow.

The stock ones are "Shot!" Axle shaft looks good/weldable.... Need perches/seats!FE3X CLONE said:
Seems like it'd be something pretty simple to just make yourself. Some flat steel and steel tube and weld them together.
You gotta mig or tig welder I can use? The shops I have called >> Won't "Fab" for me, but if I can get correct perches/seats. They will weld for me to my rear axle. In 22 years of driving I have done all my own work. Too the shop less than 10 times in 22 years! Pretty simple?FE3X CLONE said:
I wouldn't ask if I had the proper tools......
I had the same issue, and used the Speedway perches.They cost $9.99. They were very easy to weld in but I had to make the ring smaller, as they are for 5" springs and ours are like 3". Your shop may not be up to it. They are more heavy-duty than we need but what the heck.Hard to see in the pic but they have a tab in front and rear for mounting and extra strength. The boxed control arms are Speedway too. You allready know the cup is too big, so I cut it and made it smaller. Maybe a buddy can modify it for you.

I have a MIG but I don't loan it out.
Still, seems you could just get everything cut to the dimensions you need then just take it to them and have them tack everything together that way they don't have to spend time fabbing anything.
Since you were talking about welding on perches, I figured you had a welder and were doing this yourself.
Inside diameter for the spring is 2 1/4 inches....Bolt ons would be great! Then I could do them myself! Thanks for your time! I got some links to check out first........shotgun said:
