Where can I find these?

The companies catalog would be my first choice.
which company is your camber plate from?
I had bought the right type of cusco camber plate on ebay, but had wrong pilot nut and spacer.
Called cusco and bought what was needed.

Not really... measure the I.D. and O.D. of the shaft section of the one in your picture. Go to mcmaster carr and search 'sleeve bearing' and pick the appropriate flanged sleeve (I.D. and O.D.), they got alot to choose from. Find appropriate nut to thread onto Kei office strut and your set.

This is what mine looks like, and what your looking for.

BINGO measuring might be kinda hard.

Thanks for your help again Monty!

Well I was planning on doing what you did, but as you can see in the pictures below I would end up with about 3 threads to screw the nut on . It looks like your top hat allows your plate to sit much lower than mine does. The 'pilot nut' has threads that run almost 3/4s of the way down. So this may be my last option.
Idk if this helps any but I'm using the kei office coilover with koni yellow inserts.

Again,
Thanks for the help guys.

yeah, that is going to be tough trying to use those camber plates with the Koni's. Maybe consider picking up a ebay camber plates, but I'm not sure if you'll run into the same problem or not.

FWIW, The pictures of mine are of a Koni 8611 strut and the camber plate is Tein.

eBay camber plates have a M14 nut that will thread on Konis and has a shaft with an 18mm OD(IIRC, been a while since I measured). They are threaded all the way through.

killswitch · 08-29-2008, 12:51 PM

Alright, I think I found what I'm looking for. I sent Tein an e-mail about my problem, they were able to give me a part number. Well for future reference here is the correct PN... I appreciate all the help.

dude is your camber plant bent on the right??? how in the world you bend a camber plate at that position? did you drop it or something?

killswitch · 08-29-2008, 04:54 PM

It's not bent , I think it looks that way because of how the picture was taken.
