transverse leafspring parts source

[133bus]

Hi everyone,this is my first post and I would like to say hello to everyone. I've just got my roadster drawing from coupechuck and would like to build as original as possible.I've seen a couple of leafspring builds here and would like to know where you go for parts (rearend,rear uprites,front uprites,etc).Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could contact the Kirkhams. They can supply the parts, but it won't be cheap. But you get what you pay for.

I had purchased the front and rear suspension which included the leaf springs from Kris Kincaid/Roaring Sixties Motorsports www.roaring60.com/roaring60/ try there... but I have done some homework too...

Here is a few spring manufacturers to try... this won't be a stock item you will likely need to review #leaves/dimensions/rate... (for that try a leafspring search of this site, it's here somewhere)

www.eatonsprings.com/

alcanspring.com/

These folks do list leaf springs in their catalogs.

cobrarestorers.com/

Also Accurate Machine Products... can't find the link or as mentioned Kirkham.

Good luck...

OBTW aren't those plans great.
