Default Re: Rear Spring Mounting Issue

We do have original u bolts, and all vendors do sell many China and Taiwan made parts- I know that sucks, but it is reality. About half of all the repro parts made now are made in those places. I don’t like it. You don’t like it. Some are of great quality. Some are not. Those u bolts mentioned above are good quality materials, but Snyder’s has them made there because they cannot find anyone here to make them for the same cost. They are too long. They are tough to accurately drill. If you want some original ones, we have some. We all hate to see China made parts- but it is hard to get parts made in the USA these days. On a side note, we make about 100 parts for Model A Fords- all available from any dealer- and all the parts we make are made in Colorado- many in our shop.
