Topic: 41 Ford front spring clamps

  Took springs apart to clean and lube - looked to renew spring clamps (one was broken) but only see 33-34 ford clamps available from common sources - anyone know if they will fit or where I can find some to fit?

  Are you referring to the small clamps that hold the spring together?

  yes - u shaped clamps with bolts - riveted on spring

  Can you supply dimensions? The spring is 2" wide as I recall. Need to know the dimension from the center of the thru hole to the horizontal part of the clamp.

  41 spring clamps
you could try SOUTHSIDE OBSOLETE in MINN,
Fred has many NOS parts, even NEW OLD STOCK FORD FRONT SPRINGS,
EXACTLY like the one you are trying to clean,
just remember it is 80 years old, maybe a little tired
my 2 cents 37Rgtopman
