Hello!

I know this is a often discussed theme and I read almost everything.
But perhaps there are a few more info or pictures willbe great!

My plan:
-8,2"monoleaf to 8,5" Nova multi leaf (what about brackets for shocks=> they are different, any good idea to fix the multi leaf to the axle? I don't have the original bolt=> hard to find in Germany, any GOOD self-fabricated things? )
-hotchkis multi leaf springs
-eaton limited slip
-3.73 gear set
-Summit differential cover
-13" Corvette rear brake system (17" already installed)
-Poly bushings
All parts are already in my garage and wait for installation this winter

Thanks for any info and / or pictures for my waiting work!!!

Markus,
If you've got the Hotchkis multileaf spring set, you've got everything you need to install the rear end. 4 U-bolts, poly pads, poly bushings all come with the springs.
As far as the shock mounting goes, you just need to buy a pair of multileaf shock plates from any of the aftermarket suppliers and you're all set.

Markus,
Not able to help with your question, but wondering what part of Germany do you live in? My grandfather (Mom's side) lives in Eilenburg, which is close to Leipzig.
Planning to visit him again in the spring. It is a beautiful country.
