35 H8 front spring hanger needed
The spring hangers on the front of my 35 H8 project 117" WB have 2 different offsets. Bummer. The RH spring hanger is an original and the LH hanger is a bolted in replacement.
Offsets measured from the outside face of the rail are 3/4" and 5/16" respectively, presumably the bolted in hanger is from the shorter wheel base Terraplane.
Anyone have a dead chassis they can cut a spring hanger from and mail to me? Its not impossible to make a LH hanger with the correct offset, but buying one is easier. PM me here or email bobwardDOTlaidleyATgmailDOTcom

Bob, give me the general dimensions of the shackle. I have a bunch and I think your type may be among the stash I have.0

Thanks Lance. Overall length is 7". There are 2 bolt/rivet holes in the top and bottom flanges and a hole in the web for a bumper bar bracket.
The tapered part that fits within the chassis is 2 1/4" high where it leaves the chassis and is about 2 3/8" high at the back end.
Offset from the face of the hanger to the bolt eye is 7/8".0
