Thread: Converting parellel springs to transverse?

Tweet

This model is not to any particular scale, and I don't know if your chev front axle has the spring pads on the top or on the bottom of the axle. This model shows it with a "pad at top of axle" style, but the same idea would work for the "pad on bottom" configuration. This type of weldment would prevent having to weld on your axle. The yellow plate fits "size on size" with your existing axle pad and bolts to it, the purple side-plates are 3/16" mild steel plate, with a steel reinforcing tube welded between them to act as a receiver tube to accept a Ford perch bolt (blue). This would provide you with batwings and a place to mount a transverse spring.---Brian
