Default Elephant racing camber plates.

Attempted to install elephant racing camber plates on my 1990 964.

The hole in the shock tower is approx 3mm smaller than the camber plate.

Has anyone had this experience?

Could the shock tower be different from year to year? Or is this an elephant racing error?

Thanks for the help.

You are referring to the rear shock mounts and not the front camber plates. The 90-91 rear shock mounts have a slightly wider bolt spacing than the later cars. Our mounts have the bolt pattern for the 92+ cars.

To fit the mounts on a 90-91 you can ovalize the holes slightly.

Probably not needed here but just looked it up for my '91 (build date July '09 IIRC) so thought I'd share - cut over build date info here.

Interesting, since you know that (and owners may not) and you don't mention that on your website.

I'm sure the production numbers are small, but why not make it right in the first place?

Problem solved, thanks Chuck. Always have had great luck with elephant racing products and their tech support. Small modification and we are good.
