I am preparing to lower my '86 with factury adjustable spring plates. I will be using the eccentric bolt in the plates for making fine adjustments.
Here is the problem - a regular wrench is too thick to fit between the spring plate halves. I purchased a special wrench from Vertex that was supposed to be for this task. Guess what, it is also too thick. I think it is a 36mm. Apperantly Vertex gets this wrench from Automotion/performance - Interestingly they sell it cheaper than getting it from Automation directly. So question is where can I get a wrench that will do the job? ------------------ '86 Cab, '77 Targa, Family Truckster |

Go to http://www.smartracing.net. Click on Performace parts, and then go to 911 Suspension. At the very bottom you'll see this:
Ride Height Adjustment Wrench for 911's You cannot properly adjust the ride height of a 911 without adjusting the rear spring plate eccentrics, period! You can buy a 36mm wrench and spend 15 minutes in front of a belt sander sanding $50.00 off your $75.00 wrench (Neanderthal!), or you can buy one of our custom made wrenches that has the correct thickness, offsets and has both needed sizes, 24 and 36mm.

I got my wrench 2 years ago from
Automotion and it is thin enough. Just remember, it is not for applying a lot of pressure, so have the weight off the wheel. Tom |

yeah, my first one split with what i thought was not a lot of pressure. the second one is holding up still. easier on the tool to lower than raise. cool tool if it lasts.
