Where can I buy a new rear transverse leaf spring?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by brianangus, Feb 5, 2008.

  1. I had a fellow email me today, after reading my thread on "How to build an early hotrod chassis". He wants to know where he can buy a new (repop) transverse leaf spring for a model A or 32 Ford. I don't know. I have bought many front transverse springs over the years, both reversed eye and stock, but I have never seen a vendor for rear transverse springs. Does anybody know of a source for these?---Brian

    Horton's sells a mono leaf for rear aplication Brian.
     
  3. as far a i know , no one is making a stock style `32 ford curved spring. stock Model A (high arch)springs are available from places like Synder's , Bratton's etc . Posies sells a Model A spring that has reversed eyes

    he may want to consider the spring that Pete & Jakes uses in their rear transverse kits , it's patterned after a `40 front spring

    Posies makes everything...model A, curved '32-'34, etc.

    Only problem is they are all reversed eye. If you want a standard eye, it will be "6-8 weeks".

    Edit...on their website concerning the '32-'34 springs...

    "****Currently we are in the process of updating and constructing new tooling for our 1932-34 Ford compound curve spring, part #32-34R. Our current estimate of availibility will be March 2008. Contrary to internet rumors, we still offer this spring. ****"
