Bracket A-500 NOS pivot front/rear springs

Hi, I'm looking for one NOS A-500 pivot spring. The inside diameter is 1 3/4".
Thanks
Johnny

Call Ron and ask. Sometimes the vendors have stuff that they haven't listed yet.

Plan B is to call the vendor in Texas, he has a lot of NOS parts like this.

Cheers,
Peter

The repo's are out there. Johnny's request was for an NOS copy.

So it was. And you suggested Ron. That got me to thinking repro. It didn’t occur to me that Ron might have had NOS.

No worries, we are all just trying to help. Ron is our host so I think it is right to ask him first.

The NOS stuff is drying up but some of the vendors still have stuff if you ask.

Cheers,
Peter

C'mon Johnny!

If a dealer, who had them NOS please?

Thanks,
Ian.

I guess it took me too long to find these then. The gray primered ones are from a slat grille and the other two are obviously from a GPW. No real difference othat than the F. The GPW brackets show wear on the "splines". Enough for one entire jeep (not pictured are the GPW rear end pieces).
