As mentioned earlier, this is a VERY rare attachment for the KRW spring spreader. I've only seen two in my life.

V8 Fordman, I was lucky enough to find both of these versions and yes, they work well on the front. For someone who needs something available you can use the model a front spring or rear even upside down I believe. I have and use them in A’s all the time but use my kr Wilson rear unit in v8’s. I’m kind of a krw junkie so haven’t passed up too many over the years. Super glad I got them as they have been invaluable.

I didn’t know it till about 6 months ago but there’s a kr wilson Facebook group. You can post out there if you are looking for something. At least it’s a resource.
I think it’s harder to find them now than it was 20 years ago.
