Title: Engine suspension question
Post by: MaciekPeda on 12 June, 2013, 05:47:36 PM
Hi everyone again !

I work already at engine suspension leaf springs.

What is a correct thickness for shims between metal layers ? Are those shims with equal thickness ? See attached picture

Thank yours in advance for any answer.

Regards from now sunny Poland

Hi
My engine mountings are different, but I very happy to measure them if you think it will help.

Mine is a 1947 , 2nd series car
