??? - Posies Narrowed Model A Rear Spring

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Bib Overalls, Dec 23, 2007.

  1. Does anyone here know the recommended rear spring perch center of eye to center of eye measurement for this spring?

    I'm using a 46-48 Ford rear axle with the stock spring perches. They measure 46.75" to 47". I want to run a high arch Model A style spring (to clear my QC). The Model A axle measures 49.5" eye-to-eye. So the stock Model a spring is too wide for my application. I'm hoping the Posies spring will work.

    I'd call Posies. But tis the Season ya know.
     
  2. i've use a couple....46" centers on the spring hangers was recogmended
     
  3. Thanks! Hopefully the can be stretched an extra inch. Or I may fabricate some slightly longer shackles.

    I dunno 'bout all that...

    But i have an "A" spring on a '40 axle & several of my friends have stock "A" springs on Late Banjos with no problem.
