NEED HELP- Anyone have an extra one of these?

[Plavan]

I have a race this coming weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun). It's the first race of the season. I was checking all the bolts and going through the car for safety items and found a stripped toe-in adjustment bolt (rear). It's one of the bolts on the drivers rear spring arm. This is the bolt right next to the camber adjustment bolt (the one facing more towards the front of the car) This is also the bolt my Weltmiester sway bar bolts to (threaded on the other side with an allen bolt).
The outside threads were totaly stripped.
Anyone know the part number to this? Anyone have an extra I can buy? I will pay for Fed Ex shipping.
Help!

Thanks in advance.

I might have one you could have. Send me a PM with your phone #, and I'll give you a ring.

Still looking for the right piece. Eric had the standard allen head on the inside (thanks for checking though Eric). I need the kind with the threaded insert on the inside (see picture). This is where the drop links for the rear sway bar screw in. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi,

That looks like the adapter that Weltmeister makes for the rear sway bar to attach the bar drop links to the spring plates. It replaces the factory eccentric.

You should be able to order them from our host, or if you are in a big hurry, go to a machine shop and have them make you one.

When I installed mine, I stripped that adapter. (Rear Weltmeister Sway Bar Install). Per my machine shop, they reported that the part had a chunk of ball bearing in the pot metal used to cast the part and that caused the problem. They machined me a new one from stock.

Unless someone comes up with a spare for you, call Weltmeister on Monday. I think they supply those bolts with their rear ARB kits for the early cars, since you can't use the stock droplink attachment point on the trailing arm.

Tom,

About a year and half ago, the part was available from Weltmeister for about $25.00 ea plus shipping.

Thanks guys. I will call them first thing Monday morning. Thanks for all your help. I may try to have a shop re thread the stripped one just in case

Glad to help. Good luck to you. Originally, when I stripped the thread on the eccentric, I took it to the machine shop to have then turn it down and rethread. That was when they discovered the low quality metal used in making these things since when they were threading the modified piece, the cutter jumped due to a sudden change in hardness. You might want to advise your machine shop of the potential risk.

I found a place that had them in stock . I will should get it on Weds. Thanks!
