"C" beam plates
A couple of questions regarding beam plates:
1. Where can I get them? 2. Is it necessary to remove exhasust to install? Is it relatively simple procedure? |

Re: "C" beam plates
They're made by Bill Boudreau, the "ZF Doc":
http://www.zfdoc.com/c4beamplate.htm They're not that hard to put on, figure on spending a Sunday afternoon, 2 or 3 hours at most. It might be possible to put them on with the exhaust in place, but there's not a lot of room under there. It's not that difficult to remove the exhaust. TomC 'Crabs

I put mine on when I installed my 4.10's and had the exhaust off anyway. I don't think you would have enough room to get the bolts out with the exhaust in the way. It's a piece of cake once you have the exhaust off  Sounds like a job for WAZOO!!!Rich

Re: "C" beam plates
Once some of this snow melts, we will schedule a WMD and we can put the C-Beam Plates on your car. I have a set here that you are welcome to use and replace if it turns into a long-lead time item.

Re: "C" beam plates
You might want to check with ZFACTOR, we may have some available at the Registry store.
JeffVette may have a set or two also. TomC 'Crabs

Re: "C" beam plates
i have them on both my cars ,and love them . especially when you get on her in first gear and hit second the car goes dead straight .before them she really kicked out the rear end . and the other plus is ,if and when, you have to remove the rear end and tranny it makes short work of putting the bolts back on. to me its a must do
