what's the width of a 37-40 Ford front spring?

is it 1.75 inches or 2 inches?
this isn't trivia, btw.

thanks. ordered a catalog.
so - other than buying a custom spring - how would I go about mounting my 1940 front axle using a transverse leaf setup and the stock Model A spring mount?

Simple...change your perches to the earlier style. It may benefit you to buy the "longer" perches like Speedway sells, since the axle/wishbone ***embly is thicker than say, a stock Model A's.

Then cut off the forward spring mounting portion of your wishbones, and carefully round the part around the perch with a die grinder (or file) to match the bottom.

 

Food for thought. thanks, b***.
