    Hi folks,

    Working on my '33 3W and trying to figure out what spring I need for the rear configuration.
    I plan on installing a Model A rear crossmember to allow for a quick change setup.
    Using a '36 Banjo and Bones. The bones on the '36 Banjo are 46" perch to perch and the original '36 spring is 41 3/4" perch to perch and 2.25" wide. Who makes a reverse eye "T" style spring that is 2.25" wide and measures at 41 3/4" eye to eye? What has everyone done in the past?

  2. T springs get stretched quite a ways to install them. if aftermarket springs are like originals, you will need one a lot shorter then your perch distance. All Ford buggy springs get stretched, but T's are by far the most
