suicide perch

[patina]

Hey guys new to the forum. I Am in the process of collecting parts to build something. I have a 52 merc m100 frame with all the drivetain and was thinking about using the i beam axle. Any one use a parrel leaf spring axle in there rod. I have only seen one. I wana keep the cost down as much as possible. If i could find the right axle local i would use it but till then i got to work with what i got.

Thanks Jason

Bump... I only seen one rod with a parrel leaf spring axle. Got to be more then one out there... looking for pictures and what not. A friend suggested that i could hide/cover the spring perches up with a set of bumpettes.
Would like to get some ideas before i start fabbbing up a frame

So the axle you have has 2 spring pads, 1 on each end right, with the center hole and 4 bolt holes on each ??

not really... i think i never made clear what i was trying to ask for.
I wana use the leaf spring style axle and use it on a suicide perch set up instead of using leafs. Im looking for how they joined the bat wings to the spring perchs. I lost the pics i had of the one i seen.

Sry for the mix up

If you're building a whole car then you could be making this sort of bracket yourself, to suit whatever spring width or axle you have at home.

But, at $60 it is hardly worth the effort if those in the pic will fit your set-up.

Sometimes it is just more sensible to buy stuff in. [cl

Nice looking axle. Your spring brackets are very different. I like different.
