Front Spring: Modern or Vintage ?

[folksinger1964]

Can I use modern Leaf Spring for the front of my Model T or will I need to find a vintage reproduced original?

Model T springs have a specific width and shape. A spring shop can make them for you if they have a pattern.

Folksinger1964. The front spring you need for your car is an early type tapered leaf
spring. I think you should regroup and do your homework before going off willy nilly
buying up parts if you want a 1913 1914. Unless you just want it to just look like one.
