Rear buddy spring on a model A
I have a 1929 model A roadster I have had it for a while .It has a 9.3 olds/pont rear.It rides hard the shackles and spring are up against the rear end instead of 45 degree. I went to check the spring leaves to see how many are there. There are only one.When I put the car on jack stands and put a jack under the rear I can get the spring shackles to a 45 degree position.I took the spring out it measures 42 1/2 inches with the spring perches at 48. Information I have foundinformation that said take spring width add 5 inches to it and set the perches which is real close to what I have.I think the single stock leaf is to soft. I have a extra front leaf spring complete can I use leafs off of to try or do anyone have a different Idea?
Thank You
spring 42 1/2 + 5 =47 1/2 mounts on rear End 48 inches
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
