1930 Sport Coupe Rear Spring Count

[History]

Does anyone know what the number of (rear) leafs/leaves is in a stock 1930 sport coupe rear spring set? Thanks

believe it is 7 as that is what the roadsters have.

Keep in mind that the original Ford springs had leaves of variable thickness. Modern spring-makers may be able to get the same spring rate with fewer leaves of different thicknesses. For example, Detroit Eaton provides a 10-leaf front spring for Model As to replace the original 12-leaf, and an 8-leaf front spring to replace the original 10-leaf. They do provide an 8-leaf rear for coupes and a 7-leaf rear for roadsters.

If anyone has ready access to Marco Tahtaras' excellent spring chart, would you please post it?

The 8 leaf spring is the red line "B"
