I didn't have a lot of time to mess with the car yesterday evening... I got in late and by the time I got to it, it was already dark, and naturally my dead battery holder (flashlight) was no where to be found.
I'm just almost 100% certain that what I am looking at tho is leaf springs. I'm going to have to throw a jack under the car to really be able to tell tho. It's barely visible with the car sitting down... so I'll grab a flashlight tonight and crawl under the car to see what I can see.....
From what I can see of the crossmember, it IS the original Mercedes crossmember,,,, but I can't tell how they might have gone about attaching leaf springs to it. I can think of several quick and easy ways to do it, without butchering the crossmember.....
Either way, whether I'm right or totally nuts, I would like to find a set of the 4.5 springs, and try to get back to the original configuration I think. So if anyone knows where a set is, I would appreciate the info.... I could also use an additional set for my '68, since I have done a similar conversion on it.... would appreciate the help in locating these....
Thanks!
