Technical Spring mounts

So I'm looking for your experience/opinions on spring mounts. Which style works best? Or is it just an apples to oranges kind of thing? I'll be making my own out of 3/8 hot roll plate and DOM tubing.

 

I personally like the bolt on hangers from Millworks or Havlir House of Fab. Here is a link to Millworks, and Dave Havlir can be found on Instagram.

If your not using a banjo axle, then I like the bottom set more. I think it looks more traditional. The top set looks more modern. Strength wise, it probably doesn't matter. Just my two cents.

 

Guess the "style" of the mounts will depend on the width between eyes needed for your spring and the width between end flanges on your rear axle.

Unless you are using some narrow aftermarket spring, the mounts in the lower picture are more suited for use with a stock A spring as long as you have room to set the eyes @ 49-1/2" apart or so.

 

It's a 1942 Ford banjo rear and 1929 model A rear spring.

 

I made my own using the ones off a Model A banjo. I have a YouTube video about it at;

 

I used the top style. I shortened them to as short as possible and let the shackle have full swing. Worked perfectly with a reverse eye A spring on a 46 axle.

 

Made mine like above.

Would think ride height would dictate what would work best. Spring mounted above the axle can only get so low, mounted off the back of the axle is that much lower...
