I am taking the idea from a gentleman on the HAMB, and plan to use the rear spring perches off a pooched Model A rear end, cut them off (with two of the flange bolt holes to keep some meat to weld too) and weld to the flanges of the 1940 rear end I plan to use in my A. My question/concerns are that the spring perches compaired to a model A are about 3/4"-1" wider then the stock model A rear. I do plan to run a reverse eye T spring to drop the rear end of my A as much as possible. Other then the risk at the point of installation, I am not sure if this extra little width is going to be an issue for me or not.

Anyone with some insight, comments concerns would be greatly apprecaited.
 
You will need to cut the 40 perches down to fit the A model shackles or fabricate or buy weld on perches to fit the 40 rear and accept the A model shackles....[P
