A friend gave me a front and rear axle (model A). They came out from under a coupe (don't ask!). Complete with radius rods and springs.

The front spring is something I've not seen before. It has ten leaves and the leaves are grooved lengthwise such that they nest into each other. This is not wear. They were made that way.

It looks like it would support just about any weight. AA? Must have made the coupe ride like a Bulldog Mack.

I have a vague recollection of seeing something like this on a later model Ford.

Inspirations?
