Hi Gents,
A couple months ago someone posted a description of a homemade spring spreader for an "A" rear spring.
It consisted of three lengths of 3/4 inch threaded rod, a length of 3/4 inch Inside diameter pipe and some nuts. One rod was located in the middle of the pipe and that was bent in a press. the ends of the other rods were forged flat to nestle into the spring eyes and the other ends with nuts on them were inserted into the pipe.
I'd like to make one but need the dimensions. Someone has already worked that out and it would be very helpful to have that info.
If anyone can direct me to that thread I'd appreciate it.
Thanks much.
Al
