WTB torsion bars
« on: October 31, 2009, 06:03:17 PM »
Does anyone have any 28mm or 29mm torsion bars that they want to sell or let me borrow? If you do, please give me a pm on how I can get ahold of you.
Thanks,Brian.

28 and 29mm bars are aftermarket.
What are you trying to do, Brian?

Hey Josh, not sure the specs on Gerry's but I have some 28mm torsion bars that are 21 3/4 inch in length. Brand new. If Gerry's dont work for you let me know.

I don't even know what length I have in my car :-[

21 3/4" is right for an oval with SAW adj. plates right?? I don't run the OE type with the long snout

Josh. I'm pretty sure 21-3/4 is what you want. That's the shortest they come in and work with the shorter snouted springplates. That's what worked on my '59 anyway.
