More info might be helpful. From what I can see the lower control arm pivot shaft is bolted directly to the frame, a single bolt in the rear, 2 bolts in the front to a special anchor nut. |headscratch|

Scotty- I don't know if this will help, but I used to have a catalog from a company called "Caledonia Classic Cars"...I think. If you run a search for "Caledonia Classic" this may give you their web address. They have frames, and individual components unique to all years of C2's and C3's. Good Luck.

Okay, now I understand. Try Vette Products of Michigan, they bulld replacement frames, chances are pretty good they will have the piece you are looking for. I think it would be called a weldment, but I'm not certain. www.vetteproducts.netor phone 248-693-1907
