When you install an '88 cradle into an '84-87 Fiero, you need to relocate the tops of the struts to maintain proper suspension geometry. These brackets are used for that. They move the tops of the struts inward (toward the center of the car) and forward, to keep that '88 Fiero handling. And that's the whole point of the cradle swap, right?
That said, there are a couple caveats to these adapters. First of all, stock springs will not work with them. You'll need to use coilover springs. Also, you'll need to cut a hole in each strut tower, to make room for the relocated strut.
These adapters are used, but in excellent condition. I originally bought them from Arraut Motorsports (aka West Shore Fabricators). I also bought new hardware for them, so you won't have to. Here are a couple photos:
Asking price is $100, which includes US Priority Mail to anywhere in the USA. Sorry, no international shipping. Paypal or money order are both good for payment.
Yes, yes, and YES!!! The making of a template of these will benefit all Fiero owners! Me included. Naturally, if you make many of them, you can then sell them and put money in your pockets💰!!! Cordially, kevin
agree, please, please make a template. with the closing of AMS/Held these are like diamonds, rare and worth a lot of money. Someone needs to pick up on these easy to build items that the community still wants, and offer them up for sale. I don't have the welding skills but someone out there does.
Fellas , .... and in particular theogre. Holy Smokes! That is a lot of information! I cannot process that much computer data. To simplify, I do not want this valuable piece of Fiero manufacturing design to go away! Is there any way to move forward for someone to take the next step to make these more available? Cordially, Kevin

lol. It's not like they can't be made at any time in the future if nobody acts right now. It's a piece of plate with 4 holes and something welded to it.
