Re: How To Lower The Model A The Old Fashion Way
I'd like to see you drive your car with four flat tires.

Re: How To Lower The Model A The Old Fashion Way
I just called Posies. They don't offer reversed eye springs. They make a totally new spring which will sit your car at the height you want it.

Re: How To Lower The Model A The Old Fashion Way
Bib,
How do you figure that a washer that measures 1/4" x 1.5" are only 1/16th thick?

Re: How To Lower The Model A The Old Fashion Way
If you read the entire list of specs you'll see the 1/4" refers to the "nominal" hole/bolt size (not thickness) as 1/4"

As you can see the washer is 1/4" thick. 1.5" across. Has a 1/4" hole in the center. To be used as a spacer the 1/4" hole must be enlarged to 11/16"

Re: How To Lower The Model A The Old Fashion Way
OK, I don't know what to say. The first link is to the part number you gave and
the second link is to the specs for the stainless washers. Glad they are what you wanted. https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/0172787?fsi=1 https://www.fastenal.com/content/pro...FEND.SS.00.pdf These are the ones I got. https://www.grainger.com/product/5TA...rders_WillCall Bob |

- Is this something new? I would guess that in the past they have sold far more reversed eye springs than conventional ones(?). |

Re: How To Lower The Model A The Old Fashion Way
McMaster Carr has the correct size washers. Center hole, outside diameter and thickness.

I opted for Stainless. I just had my axle and wishbone powder coated and I don't want to wind up with rusty washers.

Re: How To Lower The Model A The Old Fashion Way
They sell washers that already have the 11/16" center hole?

Re: How To Lower The Model A The Old Fashion Way
I am still in the process of gathering parts for this. I have the '32-'36 front axle, '46 spindles and brakes. Now is the time for gathering hardware. Specifically the King Pins and Kit. Which should I use?
