Topic: Broken Front Spring

  The main leaf on the front spring broke on my ’34 roadster. My son-in-law told me that he would help me replace it. Where is a good place to get one?

Thanks in advance, Robert.

  Check back on your post over on the FordBarn. A guy offered up a NOS main leaf. Doesn't get any better than that.

FRED WILLNER owner
see if he has any NOS 33-34 FORD FRONT SPRINGS,
I just replaced my front spring in the front, of my 37 CABRIOLET with a NOS from him,
I would replace the whole spring,
I would think the rest of the springs, are weak and caused the main leaf to break !
once you have it removed you might see broken leafs

  Many thanks 37RAGTOPMAN. I talked to Fred this morning and he said that he would look for one. He just called back and told me that had the whole spring pack and will send it to me when he gets my check. I’m really delighted.

Thanks again, Robert

hi Robert
when I needed a front spring, I looked all over to find one, for weeks,

FRED was the only one with NOS FORD ORIGINAL, and I did not want a repro
not a real fan of the after market parts that are available, most are not worth using,
and his price was very affordable
