Before I buy these, I want to make sure that these will fit on my 1971 IRS Ghia. My car has about 5 inches of torsion bar sticking out on each side. Here are the plates. They measure about 12 inches long at the longest points.

They look like irs. Dont spend too much on used, the new are only about $80 bucks. Those are missing the adjustment bolts. The blocks can also hit the inside of your tire so you may not be able to use the same size tire you can now.
