51-57 lower rear Spring plates needed

[Quentin]

If anyone can source a pair of 1951-57 Studebaker rear spring plates (lower) with the attachment ears for sway bars, I will be eternally grateful. This will enable a sway bar kit for 53-57 coupes to fit my 63 Hawk. Thanks, Quentin.

Quentin,

The plates are really not that hard to make. The followng links show how I made a set for the rear sway bar I added to my '54 Champion. There is verbage under each pic briefly explaining what was done:

Your car would take the same style plate, but you would just need to start with the model 44 spring plates.

If you don't find the plates you need, and want to try this method, let me know via PM and I can provide some basic measurements for you to go by.
