1932 Ford 3 widow coupe

Are you doing a restoration or street rod? I think Posies have a teflon button on the end of the leaf. I don't know if they make a stock one. Can a spring shop rearch yours?

A good spring shop should be able to handle it - but you need to check with them and see if they can handle curved springs. As a side not, am looking into this very issue in Columbus this week - as I have a friend who needs to re-arch his rear spring and reverse the eyes (to lower the car). We're going to find out if the local spring shop can actually do this (they say they can) - will report back . . .
 
Remember to tell the spring shop the spring has a curve to clear the rear end when viewed from the top. You might also try a wanted ad, either for a complete rebuilt spring or for individual leafs if you have yours rebuilt.

If you decide to buy a new spring, check out Eaton Spring on the internet, They have leaf springs for just about anything.
Be sure to specify the number of leaves.

It's possible that a PM to "DavidG" might get you a reasonable and reliable suggestion for a source. I'd almost bet that Michael Driskell at 3rg Gen Automotive could also get you close. DD

If neither of those pan out, you could ten check with Fred at SouthSide Obsolete. He is "barnfind08" on this forum and has a lot of NOS stuff.
 
I am not sure if you want to try to rearch it yourself, it is not all that hard but does involve time & a bit dangerous. I did mine on the 34 but different spring. I made this press & with a bottle jack ,a piece of cake to reverse the ends to reverse the eyes.

I have a brand new Eaton spring I had made for my 34, you can have it for free if you want. Total junk! Ken
 
IndianapolisRacer..After reading your comments on Eaton Springs i checked the Facebook reviews. One guy wasn't happy because his springs got scratched in shipping and the rest were pro and con. good luck where ever you purchase what you need.
