Re: Leaf Springs / Ford Question
Hi Vik...long time, no see....hope you and the family are well and enjoying a wonderful Austrian summer!
Nabholtz says:
Torque Reaction Spring added at MB 146774
Lock strap for top pivot bolt added at MB 170307
Springs changed from 8/9 leaves to 10/11 leaves in "late '44" but I believe it was October...
Ford changes would follow the MB somewhat of course.
Remember you would also need the correct longer "U" bolts to attach the higher spring sets to the axels.
If only a particular leaf is broken on his springs, you should measure it and see if that one is shared by both the early and late styles and then you can take the spring pack apart and put in a replacement if one is available....be sure to use a NEW center bolt to assemble the leaves!
Got pics?
