You have to use inches when measuring these old cars Justin. After all. That is how they were made.

Is the eye the same diameter at each end? Which end are you replacing the bushings in?

If you're going to use metric, at least use millimteres... centimetres are for women and school kids

But best use inches for this old stuff. Unless you're talking tyre width. But not wheel width....

Hi Justin,

A-bod springs have a 7/8''inch, 22mm eye socket for the spring hanger bush, with 7/16'' pin dia.
B-bods have a 1''inch, 25.4mm recepticle, (as in 1/8'' of an inch larger outer dia) and a bigger pin hole of 1/2''.

Sounds like you have A-bod springs there fella.

bacca.
