Found these at a recent estate sale. Not likely T. Similar to Model A front axle spring perch. I'm calling on the antique car gurus to possibly identify the application.

I thought so as well; however, they appear old and threads are dipped in wax.

The dippped threads are typical of military spec preservaton of spares. That also would indicate an older manufacture.

Those are "PSI" brand spring perches.
PSI was in business in the 60's & 70's & 80's making hot rod stuff.
They were in Rosemead Calif.

Those were made for split adjustable hair pin radius rods…, so you could dial in the caster!

I haven't seen that idea before, but it should allow lowering the car by dearching of the spring. If you did that with a standard perch the suspension geometry would screwed up.
