Re: Which Spring Perch?
Good question....... I use the "mopar" style perches on mine but I would assume a factory mono leaf perch would be the best bet. I think a multi leaf perch is too deep and would reaquire a shim of sorts. The split mono's are not as tall as the factory multi's but taller than a factory mono.
Make any sense ???? Now I'm confused ???? bob |

Re: Which Spring Perch?
Bob,
That is precisely what prompted me to ask this question!!! I would think (which is usually dangerous for me to do) that the mono-leaf perch is too shallow since the split-leaf is basically two leaves stacked upon one another. I e-mailed Calvert Racing but have yet to receive a response. There is a lot of brain-trust out there so hopefully someone can shed some more light on this. Anyone? |

Re: Which Spring Perch?
i just put the calvert split leaf springs on my 67 camaro and i used the universal perches from jegs.they work great and the locating pin [ bolt ] on the leaf springs fit into the locating hole in the perch so everything lined right up...parts and labor was about $100. hope this helps..

I've always preferred the Blue Gill or Sun Perch. On light tackle they are fun to catch...They are always tasty when pan fried.

May not be in the Jegs catalogue, but I bet their travelling chef could cook some up for you if you wear a yellow shirt & hat !

Re: Which Spring Perch?
Use the Mopar perches and box them in. That will do the job.
