measurments or schematic for lowering block

Does anyone have a cad drawing or schematics/measurements for a lowering block.

Looking to go down another 1/2 inch on my 69 and I need dimensions to fab it up.

Thanks

My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"

Re: measurments or schematic for lowering block

Sorry after cdowns post I couldn't resist. I believe a 2"x7" block will work for the outer dimensions but I can get the bolt centers later.

I don't want to trouble him....Very responsive and he said he could do them for about $75 shipped (I'm cheap and will do it for free....lol)

No biggie I can do it when I get home I was just wondering if anyone had blocks lying around they could measure.

Re: measurments or schematic for lowering block



Thanks guys....

This should get you close. I might need to drill the holes out a tad more?

Yes.
The u-bolts should be 3/4" diameter.
That's why I make the lowering block holes 7/8".

I measured mine and they were right at 1/2"?

Maybe I banged my head and got the wrong size...lol (ECE stuff)
