[Spits] Missing GAZ Part?

[Daniel Parrott]

Ok.  Now I got the scoop.  GAZ apparently mis-numbered a number of GAZ
Adjustable Shocks.  I have the wrong pair.  I'll return them to Rimmer,
testing their returns policy.

Like my last post, I'm installing a set of GAZ front shocks to the Spit Six,
and now have another dilemma.  I think I'm missing the bottom plates (the
plate that holds the bottom of the spring) from my new springs.  The
aluminum adjustment ring is not wide enough (or I think strong enough) to
handle the load.  I see that the SPAX brand of front shock has a wider plate
that sit on top of the adjustment ring and securely centers and holds the
bottom of the spring.  Does anyone know where I can get a couple of the
bottom plates for a GT-6?
