Bendix Spring Question
Hello,
I picked up a few Bendix Springs in a box of "Model A" parts and noticed a couple variations. Mainly, some of them turn in an opposite direction. In the attached photo, the spring on the left appears to be a Model A spring, while the one on the right is "opposite" in terms of the direction the ends are turned, and the direction the spring turns. Also, the one on the right has a very slightly smaller inside diameter. Can anyone shed some light on this mystery. Thank you. |

Re: Bendix Spring Question
A lot of different cars used similar bendix, some turned the other direction---model T is one---and a lot of different companys made relacements, both cheaper, and "improved' that have detail differences

Well, I wish I could say I was "special" but this came on the car and all I did was abuse it. True, I do feel lucky that it didn't implode all over the inside of the clutch/flywheel housing and turn the flywheel gear into mush.

This information is found in the SERVICE BULLETINS, which is one of the "must have" books for all Model A owners. |
