Yes, if you are referring to the main leaf.

how wide are they? the spring i have is 2 1/4" wide, it seems too wide to fit in the rear crossmember easily.
thanks

I took some leaves out of my rear spring....just measured them and the old leaves are 2 5/16 wide.

The edges of the top leaf need to be chamfered to insure a good fit into the cross member...

When I bought my 1930 CCPU, it had a Model T spring. It is narrower.
