Anyone ever see anything like these?

These look kinda cool. Anyone know if anything like this was available for Model A's. I really like the looks of them.

Yikes!

 

Those look like quality parts and I wouldnt have any reservations about trusting my safety with them.

 

Right on Muttley!
I'd have no issues trusting YOUR safety to them either!!!

Cool way to mount a set of hairpins to a leaf spring type axle though...WITH some minor mods of course.

 

Those are some scary lookin',spring loaded, mo'fo's..........

What REALLY scares me,is,this kinda shit comin' down the street at me,when I'm on a soooter........

 

$152.50 and the reserve as not been met??

Somebody explain WHY??

Yeah, But these were the real deal back in the day. Morton&Brett made them from seamless steel tubing, $24.00 for the front pair and $40.00 for the rears.The race car body? That sold for $150.00.

My first thoughts also.

 

He had those on his car and was worried they would foul his shocks, sorry I don't get it

 

I guess the thing we need to remember is these are for a T.
BIG diameter skinny wheels with NO front brakes.
The rods are locating the axle but not much else...
The big, light wheel would roll over just about anything and no brakes means no torque being put into those radius rods during a stop.

Also, the method of axle attachment DOESN'T use the stock T perch. I wonder were these used (in their original configuration) as an ADDITION to the stock T wishbone assembly as a type of brace? Seems buddy used them alone, but I can't think why they wouldn't use the stock perch holes if they were meant to replace them completely. Odd...

Not really as bad as they look when I reconsider the times and application!
