WTB Spring Plate Tool

Does anyone know where I can purchase one of these spring plate tools? They have been out of stock at Cip1 for over 6 months.

Thanks, Rich

This tool hooks onto the rear torsion bar spring plate at one end and mounts over the body mounting hole at the other end. Then by turning the large wing nut - pulls the spring plate into position. The tool makes the job of resetting the height of your rear suspension much easier. Works on all models. TIP: use a little grease on the threads to make turning the large wing nut smoother and easier.

I use an early VW jack for a spring plate tool.
The early VW jacks were designed to jack a VW up, then jack the VW down via a friction mechanism.
If you weld a hook to the top of the jack shaft body (I think I used an old VW jack handle)the jack can now be used to pull the spring plate up.
The lifting thumb part of the jack goes under the spring plate; the hook you welded on, goes into one of the holes in the shock tower.
set the jack to shorten in length (like when it was used to jack the car DOWN). Start jacking and the spring plate moves up as the jack squeezes those two points closer together.
It works the same (actually better)as the tool referenced in the previous post.
