[FC] FC Transverse Spring

[Western Canada CORSA]

Here's a question that is somewhat related.....

Were the '64 diff cases cast with the boss for the transverse leaf spring?

And, did the '65 FC diff cases have the bosses for the LM lower control
arms, or were they the same cases used up till 63, or 64 depending on the
answer to my first question.

Regards,
Joel

Oops, I forgot to mention that it was an aftermarket  manufacturer offering 
the FC transverse spring.

Daniel,
 
The FC is wider than the cars so the transverse leaf spring  from a car will

not work.  Way back when, an FC transverse spring was  offered but is very 
rare these days.  I have seen only one ..... the one I  inherited in a parts

deal.  :-)
 
As far as whether or not the coil springs were modified, I  don't know.  
Frankly, I am not aware of why the oddball springs were needed  in '64.  Can

anyone tell me why the car coils were changed and if modified  coils will be
needed 
on my '65 Greenbrier when I put my transverse spring on  it?  Also, if mods 
are needed, what are they?
 
I will post this to VV too.

My 64 GB's  (still on group red) steering wheel has several crakcs but, 
instead of  repairing I think it is the same (deep dish) as used on some
cars and 
could be  easier to look for a god car's one. Am I right ?... if so, which 
years will  fit ?
Having the OEM 64 style diff. case, lead to think if  somebody has added the

transverse leaf spring used on cars and, if so, which  are the mods to make
on 
the spiral springs ? and if it performs on better  handling ?

Thanks in advance
