How many front springs should a 1910 have?
I am replacing the front axle on my 1910 Touring with the correct one-piece spindle type. At some point back in time a newer front axle was put on the car. My question is, how many leafs should the 1910 have? The newer axle on it now has 8. Seven tapered and one (the smallest one) not tapered. the springs that came with the one-piece axle has 7. The newer axle had a newer non-tapered front spring added on the very top, that makes the 8th leaf. I know that the early springs seemed to break much easier than the new style non-tapered and may have replaced a tapered one. The front motor mount u-bolts had cotter pins in the castle nuts and fit very well with the 8 leafs. I would like to do this correct way. Any thoughts? I would appreciate any help in this regard. Thank you!
