I'm about to order a 12 bolt rearend. I have hotchkins 3 leafs and like to know should I order single leaf or multi leaf spring perches.
I might lover the car litle more then what it is now and have to use like 3/4" or 1" spacers,
so should I order multi perches?
If I order with single perches and use (not sure yet maybe) spacers too would that create problem?
Thanks guys.

Get the multi perches on your new 12 bolt. Also call hotchkis (hotchkins is a desease I think ;) ) and ask for the extra plate and longer bolt (they will send it for free) so the springs fit the multi perches.

Thank you for answer. I gues it is a better bet to have the multi perches. I'm sure I will always have spacers on them to have the car low anyway.

Call for the plates and bolts now as it took two weeks to get mine. Couldn't really complain though for free.

If you are working on a 67 Camaro, it doesn't have staggered shock mounts as used on multi-leaf 68's and 69's, both shocks are in front of the axle. There is no left hand multi-leaf shock plate for a 67, a 68/69 right hand plate will fit the RH of a 67.
I like the multi leaf plates since they are thicker and the shock hole is slightly higher than a mono leaf plate. You could buy a RH and LH multi leaf plate set and get the RH plate modified to fit your 67.

how many different ways do people spell HOTCHKIS these days?
i guess it is kind of a silly looking word, but you'd think people could spell it right..
