Material & Construction

This piece is CNC-machined from solid 6061-T6 billet aluminum stock, which is why restorers and builders specify JayCee chassis hardware by name over stamped-steel factory-style replacements — the billet construction resists the corrosion and fatigue that eventually take out OEM-style parts.

Installation Notes

Confirm fit against your specific chassis before final installation and torque fasteners to a snug, even preload. Anti-seize on threaded fasteners is good practice on any aluminum-to-steel connection exposed to weather.
