    @NealinCA did I miss where you purchased the rear reverse main leaf?
    Thanks in advance.

    It was one I picked up at a swapmeet. Im always on the lookout for reverse eye 32-34 rear springs and have bought a few over the years.

    Take your main leaf, flip it over and beat the arch in it the other way.
    There's a little more to it than that, but you get the idea.
    Been doing it that way since my dad showed me how on my T speedster I built in junior high school in the '60's.

    Hi Neal,
    I was wondering how much of a difference these shocks made to the ride in your 32 ‘s.
    I’m contemplating getting a pair for the front of my model A, and eventually, for the rear.

    also, do your wishbone spacers fit a model A?

    The shocks made a huge difference on the sedan and I love the way the 5w handles. I hope to be able to buy another set someday. (Right now the tariffs price them out of the market for us here in the US, but I don't want to go down that road)

    The spacers will only work with 1932-1940 wishbone balls and caps. It could work with a Model A wishbone if you used the 32-40 rubber ball and cap.
