31' Front Spring Needed
Hi Everyone, I have two broken leafs in my front spring and have found that no one makes a new spring.
Does anyone have a clean front spring to spare?
Did the front spring differ through the years?
Thanks,
Chris

I thought the suppliers sold a 30/31 front spring... If you only have 2 busted leafs find a spring shop in your area and have em made.

I purchased a new frt. spring from a supplier. Either snyders or Macs. All parts are available, it only takes $$.

I didn't see them in their catalogs i'll have to call.
I think I did call Brattons, but not Macs or Synders, thanks for the tip.

MACS does have a 28-31 12 leaf spring listed for AA.
Hopefully its the right one.

Re: 31' Front Spring Needed
MACS must not know what they are selling. The 1928/1929 AA front spring was a 12 leaf assembly (1-3/4" wide). The the 1930/1931 front spring was a 13 leaf assembly (2-1/4" wide) for AA131 or a 14 leaf assembly for AA157.Chris Reed wrote:MACS does have a 28-31 12 leaf spring listed for AA.
