Default Springs

The current Australian brand Dobinson , they manufacture WW2 jeep leaf springs, they are good quality , they will get you rolling, but they aren't very close to looking like the original springs.The Dobinson centre bolt needs to be replaced , the head is far too small to be a effective fit in the axle housing saddle.

I spotted this Ford jeep recently, it has the Dobinson springs fitted. The towing A frame, I've not seen one before. I recall reading about a incident , a nasty accident occurred with two powered jeeps hitched together, descending steep hills , the rear jeep can push the front jeep over.
