12 bolt spring perches

[enio45]

FWIW, I had a BE rear that had the perches modified. The guy I bought it from had the repo perches installed and when I got the rear it was determined that the perches were not put on correctly. The perches are to have a slight angle to them so the leaf springs will fit properly when installed to the frame. This is very key, and of course they need to be :clocked: properly as well.

Long story short, the rear was brought to Moser in Indiana, and they replaced the perches, ensured proper alignment, installed new bearing and made everything right. Great service!!

I believe 2 degrees angled &quot;in&quot; at the front of each perch.
I am sure someone can confirm.

Yes, 2*, or 88* off 90. The repop perches must be relieved some where they fit the axle tube. I fixed one hack job on a 69 Camaro with the reproduction perches. Had the axle housing upside down with the leaf springs held in place with the front and rear diamentions secured with some wood strips to act as a guide.
I think the repop ones are good, but they lack some detail, like the stiffening indents on each side.
