Looking for a replacement for the rear alignment bolt access panel "flap" on the upper A arm. Does anyone make a reproduction?

Rock auto sells the metal alignment plates. You can get the rubber rear flaps on eBay, I think Detroit muscle technologies makes them.

Already have the metal blank off plates for the front. Not familiar with DMT, would you mind posting up a link?

THX!

DMT = Detroit Muscle Technologies, the vendor I mentioned above.

No one makes metal rear covers because the factory never did. They were always a rubber flap with little frog leg clips that hold them in place. Passenger side goes on the inside of the engine compartment and driver side goes on from the outside in the fender well.

If you look close you can see them in the pic below

No, they never came from the factory with one. Any metal rear close out is custom.

^^^ Thanks all, photo very helpful. I think both of what's left of mine are installed on the outside. I'll give Roseville a call once I've accumulated a few more parts to round out the order. Anyone know what the actual name of this cover is? Had a helluva time looking for them.

I bought mine directly from DMT. They have lots of nice parts and are great to work with.  :cheers:
