Hey guys I need a favor, actually a measurement. I'm getting ready to set up the front axle on my 31 tudor and I was wondering if someone that has model a sitting in the garage could take a quick measurement for me. All I want is a quick measurement between the top center of the front axle straight up to the bottom of the spring. It's a stock style spring over axle AND yes I understand that each car will be different but it will give me a rough idea of where I'm at. Thanks gents!
Also too, could you also mention if your spring has reversed eyes or not on your measurement. I want the measurement off of a completed car. This way I can get an idea of the spring height loaded. I will rough set my axle and then figure out 4 bar heights and brackets.
Sorry, not exactly to your criteria, but the best I can do. Bare frame, stock spring, no engine, 5 and 5/8 inches.
Fenderless, no interior, no floor, head is off, all bone stock '30 coupe. I'm getting 4-1/4 from the top of the axle to the bottom of the spring.
Thanks guys! I was figuring around 4" just looking at pics. Now I'll set my front axle ***embly in place, clamp the spring down to 4" & see how my 4 bar geometry looks to the frame and ground. I want to get an idea to see how the rear frame brackets check to height.
