leaf spring perch problem please help
 

I have a ford 9 out of a 1969 cougar and it has the tapered axle housings which are only 2 3/4 inch. Does any one know where to get the weld on leaf spring perches I need in the GM multileaf style? I have looked everwhere but so far no luck.
THANKS A LOT

hey welcome to the site BTW. You can use a universal perch from several vendors...I believe they stock them in summit. Try one for a 55-57 Chevy. Another option would be welding a 3" 2 piece sleeve. GL

Any good circle track supply house will have them, Howe racing, Stock Car Products or Speedway Engineering. All will have what your looking for at a fair price.

I have the same tapered housings and used those DSM perches. I cut a 3" exhaust tube in half and used it's pieces as spacers. I centered the rear and set pinion angle, tightened them down, then welded only the bottom half to the axle tubes. I then took out the spacers and bolted the top halves back on, for lack of a place to keep them.
