The Model A Leafspring Debacle Part 2 

I love the under car photage. What beautiful geometry! Form follows function. The wishbone, the axle and the spring working beautifully together in perfect harmony. If you like and appreciate good engineering, this as good as it gets. Triangular shapes for rigidity and a parable spring with triangle fixtures for flexibility without loss of stability. I get tears in my eyes. :-)

Well done. Enjoyed the vintage footage of cars bouncing over plowed fields!

Your subtle humor is hilarious!!! Thanks

You did a great job on that spring set up, looks great, must ride a lot better too! I know what you mean about the shock links, my 29 Coupe was missing the two rear shocks and the front shocks were toast. I decided to replace them with a kit that uses modern shocks, it cleaned up the look and made my car ride much better.

Well, on the plus side you should now be able to remove and replace the rear axle blindfolded! :-) 7:27 another advantage of the GoPro is you get that distinctive Model A starter and exhaust sound. Nothing sounds quite like it. Love the vintage test track footage. Given how bouncy these things can be with those transverse leaf springs, that must have been an "interesting" ride for the drivers. Hope they were wearing hard hats! Thanks for another interesting video.

I love every one of your videos!

A good idea is to bevel the ends of the spring leaves, as the sharp edge will dig into the underlaying leaf, over time. Next time, reach out, as I might be able to help finding parts - I'm a bit closer (Dänemark). :-)

Wow!! Lots of tension in those rear springs.

Nice job!

Super Video. Natürlich hattest Du den ersten Federschaden weil eine Feder fehlte und die Andere dadurch überlastet wurde. 6 Stunden für den Job ist klasse! RESPEKT. Die "modernen" "Dogbones" an den Dämpfern hab ich auch. Ich hab alle aus USA mitgelieferten Schrauben und Muttern weggeworfen weil die billigster Dreck waren und beim ersten Anziehen abgerissen sind.

HaHa!...loved the vintage test track scenes....

Under car cam, great idea. 31 45B

Unlike the previous owner you didn't just say, "close enough".

Could it be that the drum in stuck on the brake shoes ?

Did you feel any difference, afterwards?

Indeed, ré do is always faster than do :-)

No entiendo lo que dices pero, gracias por los videos , saludos fraterno desde Perú 🇵🇪 ( Perú es un País del continente de América del Sur )

First ride under a Model A!!!

6:03 floorboards indeed

Must have become much harder suspension now.

Does the spring ever bottom out against that steel bracket it is mounted inside, if you hit a major bump?

Just posting on this video as the only way I know to get a message to you: Are you OK? Did you and yours escape the flooding?

If yoy needt to get the reare axel of again mabe you can put a overdrive in it

I think you're going to have to heat that drum up to get it off.
