On the ford 9 I have for my firebird, it looks to me like the axle tubes are larger compared to the 10 bolt. Will the stock GM replacement perches fit? Is there a different set or size I should be looking at? Thanks

*Edit* I measured and they are slightly larger at 3.25 while the GM perch is made for a 3"
So what are you guys using? Is there a 3.25 version that I'm missing or should I be picking up one of those universal ones in that size? I'll be using this for the lower links on my Ridetech setup.

Most everything I know is 3" perch. Found these guys adn it looks like they can make or have what you need.

Thanks, I took a chance and bought the replacement GM multi leaf mounts (Moser) at Summit and they do fit almost perfectly. A touch on the upper edges with a die grinder (and I mean just barely) and they will be a perfect fit.
