Re: [Chrysler300] 300H REAR SPRINGS QUESTION

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Hi Ken and All:
I don't know if anyone answered your spring leaf question, but didn't see  it 
on the listserver, at any rate.  The 300H has six leaves, convert or  
hardtop, rt. or left.  The spring rate is 125 lbs/in (160 at the  wheel).  Since 
these specifications are the same as the Newport station  wagon, I suspect the 
springs might be the same.  
 
On the rear seatbelt question both you and Fern had---I am not sure I can  be 
of too much help, other than to say I have put anchors in both my "H" convert 
 and "F" convert. The "H" was done so long ago (35 years or so) that I don't  
remember how I located them.  I suspect so that I could route them under  the 
plywood.  On the 300F, much more recently, I found dimples in the floor  pan 
that I assumed were for the purpose of seat belt anchor location, so  utilized 
them.  Since I haven't installed the actual rear seatbelts yet, I  can't say 
how that will work out.  Will have to be done pretty soon,  though.  On your 
300Hs, I think I would try to find the dimples and use  them.  Hopefully, by 
1962 some design work went into the prefered location  of the rear anchors.  
Hope this helps a little.

Help! -  how many rear leafs is there in the 300H
convert (or hdt). is the right  side suppose to have
more leafs then the left side?   I assembled  7 leafs,
both sides, but the front clamp band, of one
reassembled spring  (I took spring apart so many years
ago along with others that I do not  remember the
assembly or if I got all the leaf count), was still
loose  so I stuck a short 12" half leaf to fill the
band.  I stuck this (now  8 leaf count) spring on the
right side.  The other spring, in which  the clamp band
was fully filled with just 7 leafs, - I installed on
the  left side.  Today I installed the freshly restored
rear axial but  holding off tighten it untill I hear
some comments.

Thanks in  advance  -  Ken Wilson
