Fantastic.That is a great help. Many parts from other cars were used in building sprinters back then. I had a midget that was originally powered by a Model B motor then someone changed it to a V-8 60. Found a few holes in chassis to reveal this secret! I will measure the at rest width of the T spring I have and get back to you. Believe it is the later version as the ends of the springs are cut on a 45 degree angle. Also the rear Model T spring is still in place so I will work on that issue next. Much appreciated !
