OK on year. The spring was seperate from the chassis (no shackels etc) so it is reasionable to suspect that it was not original. It is 28 3/4" C/C of bushes and the set is about right.
With the original 15 + 15 (30") where is the main leaf measured from, outside overall or bush centre? I assume that the other leaf measurements are tip to tip as a chord, not the length of material over the curve, yes? From the drawings, all leaves look the same thickness at about 1/4". Do you have this detail?
I see that later springs are listed as slightly shorter than early. Does this translate to a different axel width, or just a change in shackle dangle angle?
What does "nibbed and slotted" mean? (Sorry about the ignorance).
The rear springs probably suit the '29 chassis (they were paint treated the same), can't remember how many leaves, so dimensions would help.
Thanks, DG
