You have front springs in the rear?

Yes, Sir.

 

[pontiacgp]

Yes, Sir.

do you use your wagon as a troop carrier?....

 

[oranGekrate]

Yes, Sir.

I need to go finish reading your build thread, I'm half way through it.

Btw pontiacgp I found all the info you posted on another thread about BMR springs. I have Info, I have part numbers. This could become too easy. Just need to decide If I want open tops or twin piggies.

our plan is to never make it easy so we failed once again.....

Nah, but the soldiers at my unit do enjoy seeing it. But, no free rides.

Here is the thread I started on the searchable Moog spring database: https://gbodyforum.com/threads/searchable-moog-universal-spring-chart.63748/

that is an awesome link for the moog springs, thanks

Thanks for the Moog link, Mike.
I bookmarked it for future reference. That is one of the best Moog spring links that I've ever seen.

Charlie, you're going to OD on information.

 

[motorheadmike]

No problem!

Ironically, the data for the 5662 and 5664 springs are reversed.

Thanks Mr. motorheadmike . That's very nice work.

Which brings me to a question I have. I'll use the 5660 front spring for example...This spring uses a squared end and a tangential end. Which end is up(pocket end)and which is down(control arm). I am pretty sure it's the tangential end that is trimmed. What effect would having both ends tangential? I have a feeling some people just cut and stuff with little thought to this...Maybe not. Just curious.
On the rear spring pontiacgp uses open top spring 5661 which is a squared end. When cut, it becomes a tangential end. Does this matter? I guess using the isolator corrects the possible issue if any.
