1931 SERIES 15 SPRING PIVOT BOLT/BUSHING SETS

These bolts fit the 1931 OPEN EYE spring only, used on many, but not all 1931 Franklins. The OPEN EYE springs are identified by the large diameter (approx 1-7/8") end caps.

Bolts are made to original specifications (drawing #53051), are case hardened and ground. Solid 660 bronze bushings replace the OEM steel-backed bushings which badly wore the pivot bolt after the bronze liner was worn.

$32.95 per bolt/bushing

$130.00 set of four (one axle)

$250.00 set of eight (complete car)

We needed a set and made some extras. With no plans to run them again, if you have these springs, buy now!

Oops - I should amend that. While the 1932 pin will work well on earlier cars, the earlier pin had the thick head and was drilled for grease differently. In the interest of authenticity, I will probably make the correct-style early pin. If you want 1932 and later pins, you should probably make them. Just follow the drawing.
