"C" beam plates

[secondchance]

A couple of questions regarding beam plates:

1. Where can I get them?
2. Is it necessary to remove exhasust to install? Is it relatively simple procedure?

They're made by Bill Boudreau, the "ZF Doc":

They're not that hard to put on, figure on spending a Sunday afternoon, 2 or 3 hours at most. It might be possible to put them on with the exhaust in place, but there's not a lot of room under there. It's not that difficult to remove the exhaust.

Yun,
I put mine on when I installed my 4.10's and had the exhaust off anyway. I don't think you would have enough room to get the bolts out with the exhaust in the way. It's a piece of cake once you have the exhaust off Sounds like a job for WAZOO!!!

Thanks guys.
Yes, Rich. Sounds like one of my "to do" list item.

Rich,
Did you notice any difference after the install?

No, but I have been baby'ing the Z with the new gears for the first few hundred miles or so. I'll let you know at BG once I get my first run down the drag strip

It is VERY noticeable the first time you hammer the throttle after installing them.


Worth every penny.

Once some of this snow melts, we will schedule a WMD and we can put the C-Beam Plates on your car. I have a set here that you are welcome to use and replace if it turns into a long-lead time item.

You might want to check with ZFACTOR, we may have some available at the Registry store.
JeffVette may have a set or two also.

i have them on both my cars ,and love them . especially when you get on her in first gear and hit second the car goes dead straight .before them she really kicked out the rear end . and the other plus is ,if and when, you have to remove the rear end and tranny it makes short work of putting the bolts back on. to me its a must do

Thanks guys.
I will order from ZF doc and see.
Thanks for the offer Jim. Hopefully it's not a long lead item.
