What are these?

Post by AdminJeff » Tue Sep 24, 2019 5:34 am

They look like suspension parts and are new but I don't recognize them.

And body supports of some kind?

Jeff, the 1st photo is 26-27 T windshield risers for roadster or touring.
Not sure on second photo but looks like aftermarket shocks or overload springs.

I have a full set - front & rear but mine have ball bearings where yours have brass wear plates - I believe the perch was reversed like Hassler installation required and those work with the original springs - Dan T. most likely has an advertisement for them - I do too somewhere.

Here's a few adv. on these.

Have rear set only on the '23 cut-off pickup. Gives the wood bed a nice ride with loads, and kicks the frame up a tad.

On the front axle, have '26-'27 spindles that lower it, provides a nice rake to the chassis, truck like :D

This version on the rear , have large ball bearings on the leading edge to glide over the leaf spring. The flange keeps the spring stack in place as you remove the leaf clamp.
