Fixed my brakes finally

Here is what the front upper shock mount looks like:

I can't say for sure what this is from but I think it is from a '40 (ish) Ford. Maybe DD will chime in here and clarify this. As to drilling/existing holes, I cannot say for sure. It was there when I bought the car.

The bottom end of the shock simply mounts to the perch pins. The front axle/wishbone is a '39 though.

HEARD is correct...these shock mounts (along with quite a few similar versions) have been available from aftermarket suppliers since the '50s. They're all pretty generic in nature and bolt to the original shock mounting holes in the frame. DD

Jim...FORGET that you ever saw those coil springs. I can assure you that they currently occupy some landfill in Florida. DD

OK. I just could not believe what I was seeing. Thanks.
