bolt-on hairin brackets???

[kelseydum]

Was wondering if anyone has used a bolt-on bracket for hairpins on a spring behind axle instead of using split bones???... and if so what brand or did you have to modify some? I've heard of people that make these but never seen them used on a spring behind... but then again I'm new to this so maybe some of you know.

I found these http://www.tperformance.com/street_rod_store/2900/219/ but they seem kind of expensive for a simple modification...

Posies, were more expensive than that, but look the same.

I am not sure if that is what you need tho. Looks like the brackets on the axle for the bones would adapt to a hair pin set up. Then you would need a bracket for the frame to hairpin at the rear.

no no no it just struck me funny about the whole old post thing
i know its ok to bring up old threads but i hope kelsey is past his hairpin problems

Just wanted to post a couple pics of how they looked... of course they aren't painted or anything yet. I had to get a spacer set for my 2" axle from speedway for about $3.00. They look like they'll work just fine and will keep me from having to weld my axle.

that looks really cool...sometimes its best to just buy a part then try to make one..especially when its something really important like axels and brakes and steering looks good keep on trucking

Oh sure, these work terrific. I've had a set on my '27 for about 17 years, 7 of that on the road, with zero problems. I also am using a set on the '39 Dodge, except they are the welded on version.
