Can anyone tell me the length of the leaf springs on a King Hauler.
I am building an 8x8 project truck and the distance between the axles will not allow me to use the springs I have. These are the Wedico brand.
They are too short for what I want to do. this is basically a scratch build with as many parts home made that my tools will allow me to make.
I would also like to know if the Tamiya springs are closed eye on both ends.

Center of hole to center of hole 4 1/16", Length-end to end 4 5/16", width 1/4". And yes they are closed eye on both ends. Good luck and post some pics!!

They will work great. It must have been the difference between 1:14.5 and 1:16th scale
The springs I have now are almost exactly 1 inch shorter and that is how much I need.
Now to just be able to find the springs and mounting hardware. .
