Default Need help finding rear spring anchor plate...AX this weekend

I finally replaced my rear shocks after 18+ years and removed the rear spring for some "spring" cleaning. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) When I reinstalled the spring, this is what happened:



It's more recognizable with the pieces together:



I have an autocross this weekend and need to find this part so I can run. If I can't find it by Wednesday, I'll have one made out of steel until one turns up. Thanks for any help locating one.

I also ended up with a service ride control fault after installing the rear shocks but haven't pulled the code yet...I know where to come if I need help though.

You're right, just found some on Ebay for $4.99 plus shipping. Fortunately, I called Randy at DRM this morning asking for help and he called me back at lunch to tell me one is on the way for shipping only. This is why we support forum vendors!

I'd like to give a big THANK YOU to Randy at DRM!

Couldn't agree more! I had my Coil Over's installed and he was RIGHT there to help with the install.
