When I removed the leaf springs from my 67 cuda the studs snapped off from the mounting plate. Does anyone know the exact size - I think they are 3/8 x 1 1/2 ?

My advice is to just buy replacement hangers. You might be able to weld some bolts in there to replace the studs but everything is probably rusty anyway.

actually the hanger plate (where the big end of the spring attaches to the frame) is in really good shape - I just need the studs....

I believe they are 3/8x 1 or 1 1/2.I replace a few in the 65 that snapped.I just used bolts and nuts with lock washersThey were on 10 years till I put the new SS hangers on.Just if you dont tack them to the habger you need tp hold them to tighten efore you install the spring.Rocky

Are those studs available? I think a lot of them break off...at least on cars from this area of the country.

If I find them - I'll let you know. I'm pretty sure they're around.
