I am trying to find new tags for my springs and the first set I bought are too narrow. Mine are an inch wide on an 03D car.  The ones I bought were copied off an original set. If you have your originals, how wide and when was your car built?

Bill,

I have my originals, but when I removed the original springs, I removed the tags, placed them in a plastic bag and 'stored them' away...  :)....  It would probably take me 2 hrs or more to locate them.  :(

PS.   the new ones you posted photos of, appeared too narrow to me...  your originals appeared to be similar to mine (late 09C car)...

I would contact Don Lightfoot and see what he can do for you Bill, even you too Gary. That is, making correct tags, not finding your lost parts.lol  http://www.angelfire.com/rock/69ss/

 Or ECS maybe, the makers of RPM? They are supposed to make exact copies.

These are the front and rear spring tags from my 1968 04A. Both are 1" wide.

the rear ones I got were the same width as the narrow front ones so they both must be wrong. Thank you for the pictures. unreal you were able to find the rear ones!

I had Don make my spring tags. My original front tags were 15/16" wide, 3955712 EM.  He had no problem making the right size, but font is where we had a problem. The 'M' on the original tag looks like an upside down 'W'. I finally found the proper font and what he made was an exact match. Excellent job!! :)
