Wanted: Leaf Spring Eye Bracket J Clip - 3892755
Looking for NOS J Clips for the front leaf spring eye bracket on a camaro/ nova.
GM Part number 3892755. Must be the factory type with the nut not just the threaded cone. Will take as many as I can find. Thanks, Dave |
Dave, got a pic of the original?

For the Sake of discussions. What is the wrench size on the nut flats and then the threads sizing. I wonder if the replacements are inferior to the Orig design? & can a Guy take Cone style and TIG weld a appropriate sized Jam nut in place for a working option.
I cross threaded one of my Origs as the "J" part of the nut was 'Sprung' which lead to miss alignment of the starting thread and caused a problem that I quickly corrected by NOT forcing it and removed and tapped it out and was really careful starting the bolt again. I might be able to source one or two factory ones if you are in a jam, but the ALL you can take might be a reason to start fabbing these, if the Cone are just a disaster Jim |
Clamp the break closed, v groove and weld it. Grind, hand file to finish.
Welding would the same as a butt, small tack and cool between welds until complete. Blast cabinet with medium coarse media and low pressure to give the repair a slight texture. |
Here in WI, the nuts break off the clip. The cone style is far better.

3 of these clips stripped out way before I could even torque to spec. All by hand. I wouldn’t trust these. Here’s an example. |
well that def is a problem, wonder if different manufactures of these are the problem?
I like the orig style and would probably do a spot weld on each nut to be sure they don't break loose. |
What torque are you using.
