m debating which to do. these are what im thinking: 1. '40 front spring, axle bracket spring shackle hangers, stock A rear X member. 2. Large front coils off a large sedan, custom seats. Box tubing X member. Saw some on an A off a volvo. lol 3. Some new coilovers, Panhard bar, Rear weld-on shock mounts, box tubing X member. What do you guys think? for an A modified btw.
No coils. A modified needs either a transverse or quarter eliptical springs. How do you want to locate the axle? Split bones, hair pins, 4-link?
Quarter eliptical springs are really easy with shackles and a panhard bar. Search out Zipper Motors on the web or the HAMB and take a look at how Daryl did it. He uses 4 bars, but it's the same set up. Cleaner than a transverse spring and very track styled.
i looked on the site but couldnt find what you reffered to. do you remember the ***le of the post on the HAMB?
No. I'm lame that way. Here's some stuff to chew on... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/search.php?searchid=850199
Hope this helps... his shop isn't too far away from my neighborhood. http://www.zippermotors.com/index.html
I have a new pan hard bar if you need one. I needed a longer one so I got it from Comp Eng. I will make you a hell of a deal on the bar. Keith
