Post photos of what you have. The Featherlights have the BOA top mount that bolts directly to the upper mount of the chassis. The rears need the plate that is attatched to the top of the shock. White dot to the front.

Just re-read you first post. If it's the rear plate you need, contact Marc at Vettenuts and I bet he will hook you up for a lot cheaper.

FYI, the original Pfadt's came with an aluminium mount with an integrated heim joint.
I know the old ones did, but I thought you said you ended up getting the new Featherlights.
Glad you got it resolved.
