I see Mancini has them for 72.

I am putting in caltracs and the front hanger needs to be a standard size (not the 2" for SS springs).  The opening for the Leaf needs be 3".

Anyone have a source for 73 Stock front hangers?

remember match the front leaf bushing with hanger and bolt... in STOCK form, there was two sizes of bushings ( diff inner diameter ) that made changes on front hanger bolt size and hole. I think change was made in earlier or mid 73.

the smaller inner diameter and bushing made a thicker isolation section... incrersing the isolation like on rest of car

maybe hard to notice on attachment but inner bushing diameter diff is there.

I didn't know when I changed my springs looong time ago, but some years later noticed they come in diff sizes compairing with some earlier chargers from buds. So I had to change the bushings on mine to match with hanger and bolt size.

Note, outer diameter is the same
