Ive read till im blue in the face My question is on rear of model a, what quarter ellpt. springs to use? Posies light or heavy? Speedway super glide, ***uming they are made in USA ? Any input is welcome.
I’m using the speedway springs on the rear of my A. Big Joe Art is using them front and back on his purple T, Mike over at “this old hot rod” has the speedway springs on the back of his 34 coupe with the nasty olds and I believe @Primered Forever has the speedway springs in the back of his A sedan as well. only ever ridden in Joeys T but it handles like a go cart and has a firm but not jarring ride. Very sports car feeling.
I made my own from early Ford front springs long before Speedway offered them. It was a ‘27 T with a SBC. It rode nice and handled like a go kart. Add or delete leaves to soften or stiffen the ride.
Thanks everyone Now I go back to shop and kick myself in *** for installing spindle on front upside down with speedways deluxe bearing kit that i just researched and it came up as not working well. Somedays Im a walking cluster
Built my own.... don't know if you found the post but Here you go... https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/built-my-own-quarter-elliptical-springs.1115374/ ...
All of the Zipper lakesters had quarter elliptics front and rear. Mine handled like it was running on rails
