Does anyone still make a reverse Model T rear spring that is of high quality? I know I can attempt reversing the arch of originals (which I have 3 to attempt on), but wondering if anyone is still making them today? I've read bad things about the Speedway and Posies springs (since they were bought out), and this car is a keeper...so looking for quality that will last. Any helpful direction is appreciated.

Wish I could recall the name of the guy in Conn. Just West of Hartford.
( Newington Ct Maybe ) He would make and sell new.
Although he may be old enough to trying to recall his name.

Check with Langs, Snyders or Chaffins. Think one or more list them in their catalog.

A spring shop can form the eye leaf as long as they have a pattern.
