Sorry but so far not enough interest to save a whole lot. At some point I'll order up a bunch for inventory but too much else going on right now to deal with adding more stuff to an already overcrowded shop.

Dan,
I know this really does not help untill you get the money in your hand:
BUT, If I get that 69 S/C  from Nathan, you can put me in for the "set"
I'd give you cash first...

They indeed do have the measurements and likewise the ones for the SC/Rumbler were a good fit as well although the spring perch is 2.5 inch instead of 2.0 like the springs.  I did have to fiddle with them a bit to get the rear axle to align correctly front to rear on both sides but that could have been on the car and not the perches although it did not crab walk before I put them on.  Regardless, the Caltracs tamed a car that was otherwise uncontrollable to the point of being dangerous before they were installed.

 That two inch spring is what hurts. They can not build a mono spring for the American it needs to be at least 2.5''. Lucky for me when I moved the springs in I used a 3'' spring spring pocket. I just hope the caculations for the shorter shocks are right......Jim.

hmmmm, mine were made to my specs (2" wide springs)  and talk to matt.
and i was told they were trying to work out the monoleafs...
 
do sc/ramblers have 2.5" springs or did you change them?

I got mine just about a year ago and was told by Matt that the perch could only be 2.5 inch due to their design needed that amount of space for the adjustable tube to attach so there is 1/4 extra clearance on either side of the spring next to the ubolts. 
All Americans have 2" springs.
