Could someone steer me in the direction of where to obtain a set of c Beam plates please. After reading an earlier post on what they do and how they work, l would like to install them on my car. Thanks in advance.

I've got them on my red Z and it will still get wild if you really jump down on it.

Russell don't expect too much help from the beam plates.
I think you know what I'm talking about.

I have the C4 Beam Plates on ALL ZR1s

I have removed several C4 Beams and All of them had depressions where the much smaller washer were individually used on each of two C4 Beam Bolts (Transmission and Differential End of C4 Beam) resulting in a much more concentrated bearing surface with a much more concentrated load on the Transmission and Differential C4 Beam Bearing Surfaces. This in of itself caused loosening of the C4 Beam Grip on the Transmission and Differential.

Secondly....loosening and installing the Two C4 Beam Bolts on the Transmission and Differential End of the C4 Beam Plate is much easier accomplished using the Captured Nuts on the Top C4 Beam Plates (both captured nuts on one single C4 Beam Plate). There is a Top and Bottom C4 Beam Plate for the Transmission End and Differential End of the C4 Beam.

Yes l do. I'll be showing a little more respect for the car and spend a bit more time getting to know it.
I would like to get and install the Beam plates anyway, as l do drive aggressively sometimes, so they may help.

Just ordered a set myself. Wouldn't have a Z without them. Just email Bill and he will send you a PayPal invoice.

Judging from your user id Ozruss90 and this mentioned by you, Location: Austalia, I took that to assume you're in Australia and if I'm understanding this to be correct I'd be tempted to maybe fabricate my own. The payment, the wait and the ship might maybe make this a viable option. I guess it would depend upon either your fabrication skills or the the skills of maybe an acquaintance.

Much might depend maybe on the "wait" time.

I've wondered about this, too. Do you think it'd be fairly easy? They're basically just captured nuts on the top said where it's hard to reach with a wrench?

They also come with measuring templates and instructions to properly position the C Beam relative to the body.

The C4 Beam Plates are made of 302 stainless steel TIG welded with self locking captured nuts.

The plates are stiffened with Stainless Steel bars.
