Jay :I have the right one on our 1912 . When you look care fool at the picture you can see that on the left side there is standing A-6643 LH.
I see this for the first time !!!! But the axle angle is OK and the steering is perfect. I don't know what is happend in the past.

Anthonie, Thanks for the photo. The one I have pictured has no markings on it.

Remember - They say there's no such thing as a dumb question:

What's the purpose of the taller spring perch? As far as I can tell, all it does is put the chassis an inch or two higher. What am I missing?

I wonder if those perches might be aftermarket and perhaps the sole remaining pieces of some snubber or auxillary spring set up? Just speculating. Bill

Those perches where for short people to make them look taller in there T

I was hoping some one could identify the reason behind the tall perches, anyone??

I'm thinking Bill is on the right track. They must be (I think) for some sort of shock/aux. spring set-up. But like Bill, I'm just speculating.
