<VV> FC Transverse Spring

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

Daniel,
 
The FC is wider than the cars so the transverse leaf spring  from a car will 
not work.  Way back when, an aftermarket FC transverse  spring was offered but 
is very rare these days.  I have seen only one .....  the one I inherited in 
a parts deal.  :-)
 
As far as whether or not the coil springs were modified, I  don't know.  
Frankly, I am not aware of why the oddball springs were needed  in '64.  Can 
anyone tell me why the car coils were changed and if modified  coils will be needed 
on my '65 Greenbrier when I put my transverse spring on  it?  Also, if mods 
are needed, what are they?
 
I will post this to VV too.

My 64 GB's  (still on group red) steering wheel has several crakcs but, 
instead of  repairing I think it is the same (deep dish) as used on some cars and 
could be  easier to look for a god car's one. Am I right ?... if so, which 
years will  fit ?
Having the OEM 64 style diff. case, lead to think if  somebody has added the 
transverse leaf spring used on cars and, if so, which  are the mods to make on 
the spiral springs ? and if it performs on better  handling ?

Thanks in advance
