Can I use a 2.25" spring seat, on Hotchkis front camber plates, with 60mm springs? Hotchkis has 2.25" and 2.50" options for spring seats.
I am getting 60mm springs and need to convert my Hotchkis Camber Plates from OEM to 60mm spring seats. Hotchkis has 2.25" (57.15mm) seats available. Does anyone know if the 2.25" seats are close enough to work with 60mm springs?
Can't tell you what you're looking for, but 57mm is probably too narrow to let the spring sit securely. that's about 1/8" difference to 60mm. Where do you get the replacement spring seats? Was looking for those on their web site but could not located such parts. I have a broken spring seat on camber plates I recently removed.
I was thinking that a 57 mm (2.25") seat might be OK because 60 mm is the inside diameter of the new spring, so the spring would actually be a little larger than the inside of the seat. I am not sure if the spring would move around too much or be OK. You have to call Hotchkis for the seats. Even though the camber plates are out of production they still have a few parts available. They do not have bearings but they were able to give me the size so I could order from a bearing supplier.
