Hawk,
I have fitted 12 batteries in my 28 Pickup as well as in my 29 Chevy. The extra oomph causes the starter to kick in with a hell of a jolt. In the past five years or so, I have had a few broken springs on the Chevy and the Model A. I have also had one where the bolts securing the spring, have come loose. I now fit them with locktite and make double sure that the lockplates are secure.
