Fits 3\u2033 U bolts
\nRear trailer tie down brackets for 3″ U bolts and Caltracs. These piggyback onto the bottom of the stock shock plate mounting nuts, and then 4 more nuts hold these tie down brackets on. No disassembly necessary, just slide the brackets over the extra thread on your U-bolts, install the included nuts, tighten them down and you\u2019re done. Less than 10 minutes to install. You must have at least \u00be\u201d of extra thread hanging down on the bottom of your U-bolts to fit the \u00bc\u201d thick tie down bracket and another nut. These eliminate all the hassles that come with using axle straps. Fits A, B, and E bodies with the standard shock plates like shown in the pictures. These do not fit cars with a 7 \u00bc rear axle.
\nMADE IN THE USA<\/p>\n
Just FYI, the Caltrac tie down bracket I offer may require a little more effort than just bolting them on depending on which version of the Caltrac spring plates you have. Caltrac had 2 different versions, 1 had round holes where the u-bolts go through and my tie-down brackets will bolt right up to those without issue. The 2nd version of the Caltrac spring plate had oval holes where the u-bolts go through, the oval holes could allow the u-bolt to spread apart while it is being tightened. If that happened my tie down brackets will not slide right over the u-bolt because the ends are further apart. What you would have to do in that case is loosen up your u-bolts, squeeze them back together, and tighten the nuts up again.
\nA 3″ u-bolt with 1\/2″ thread should measure about 3 1\/2″ center to center, if yours measure more than that at the ends you know that the u-bolt has spread and you have the oval hole Caltrac plates.<\/p>\n
I just wanted to make sure you knew the possibility before you purchased the Caltrac brackets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
