Leaf Springs
Hi there,
I am looking for 2x rear leaf springs for a 360 (unsure if 340's have same rear leaf springs or not?)
as I am looking to double up the leafs on ours, for towing purposes.
Cheers,
Matthew.

No reason why you could not use a leaf from these to stiffen the rear.

Re: Leaf Springs
They are longer but you only need part of teh leaf to double up with.
I did measure them in the past to see if ford springs could be used as a replacment but sadly not. At least they are good for doubling up with. Lots of other springs could be used for that.

Re: Leaf Springs
Not that I have found,
I spent a lot of time measuring every car I could find on old leaf springs but nothing was close enough
Double leafs of coil overs are the only easy options that I have found.
