I’d like to buy Hassler beehive springs that are stamped with their part number. Below are examples of a 39 and a 40 with the location of the stamped number circled in red. Can also pick up at Chickasha. Thanks.

Not sure what time frame the stamping occurred perhaps early in production but they went to painted colors on the spring coil ends - when ???????
I have bins full of spring mostly paired by O.D. & height - I'll have to get my magnifier out and check for stampings !

Thanks, Steve. I have a few with hints of color, but it’s hard telling what happened over the years. I’d like to get together enough stamped springs to characterize what is what from dimensional and spring rate perspectives - the idea being that that data could then be applied to non-stamped springs.

That’s interesting, I never knew there was a difference. Now I have to go look at mine

Does the information show Hassler spring for Dodge Brothers, maybe on a different page?
I knew about the springs getting different color marks to indicate what they were fitted too, but most I have seen, that mark was gone many years ago.

I have the FORD literature for the Hassler "beehive" and "pancake" styles. Did a search and found this AD with and small inset saying "contact your Dodge Dealer"

And you found my car too! Could you send me a link to that ad or email me a copy of it? I would like to add it to my folder I am keeping on the 1920 DB in the photo and have not come across that information.
Thanks
Mark

It will also benefit "Hassler Documentation" if the height of the springs were measured and tied to their stamped number. That might help identify ones where the numbers are no longer visible

Thank you. I am a regular poster on both DB Facebook pages and visit the DB home page (so very dead, sad) sometimes.

While you're packing for Chickasha, check for spring numbers!
