Rear Axle Paper Tags ?
« on: November 22, 2010, 04:21:21 PM »
I have seen an unrestored Mustang II with a paper tag wrapped around the Axle does any one have a picture of a  axle tag?

When I was doing my King, he helped me with tags for the front and rear springs but I didn't get one for the rear end.

I have reproduced my front spring tags "TIK  350/1608 and a d7z" part numbers, the springs were bare steel with a white stripe on the top three coils, Is this about what your KING has  Bill?
both our cars's are 302- Auto- with air, but your car has the rear sway bar AKA handling package.
this could have a different spring rate I would think?

I will have to look. I do remember them being bare with a stripe, and I think it is white. I think the springs are the same with or without the handling package, the only difference being the increased diameter of the front sway bar (3/4" to 1") and the handling package cars having the rear sway bar installed.
