Re: Model T axle questions
Those Hassler dual springs on your front axle are 'Double Hassler' set, made for the heavier Fordor and Sedan. The lighter runabout and tourings got single spring Hassler shock absorbers.
Hasslers came out as aftermarket Ford items in 1915, made for the car, and later for the Ton Truck and were also made for Dodge.
The last Hassler style in 1924 were the New "Pancake" Hassler, lower one unit spring, and different arms. The Pancake did away with the multiple strength 'beehive style' springs of the earlier version that were made for each body style Ford.
