1929 Sport Coupe Front Spring Clamp
As I disassemble the frame and axles, I found the front spring clamp has two bottom plates below the front spring. I have not seen this before on a Model A and don’t think it’s original. It appears that the front U-bolts may be too long ???
The front passenger side frame horn is damaged and the front cross-member has been replaced, so the spring has been removed at some point in the past. Many thanks for helpful advice - Jim Last edited by Conaway2; 07-11-2021 at 05:47 PM. |

Definetely not original. Your U bolts are too long. Probably for a different model with a leaf spring with more leaves.

One bottom plate has a hole in it and the other does not. I’m guessing the one with the hole is the correct one to accommodate the bolt through the center of the leaf spring. Thanks - Jim |

Yes the hole is for clearing the spring bolt. As I remember they were just a depression not a through and through hole. I have only seen ones as a depression.
