Thanks

Bob,
The one on the right with the extra "cut" in the profile tools correct to my eyes. In fact, I have one fin around here somewhere.

I used to have a stacks of brake fans in the old days. No one wanted them so my Dad junked them. After first warning me. JD

And perhaps someone knows what sort of front coil spring this was on the same Corvette? Here is a pic of it compared with a HD 140 coil used 1957-59. It has at least three more coils, but the coils are a thinner gauge. Perhaps this gave the same effect? A bit of green paint daubs remain on the third and fourth coil from the bottom if that give a clue.

One of the coil springs had an aluminum shim. Has anyone seen this type of shim before?

Bob

On the springs, thinner wire = softer and more coils = softer, so that is probably the standard spring that came with 687. 687 used standard springs front and rear and bigger bars.

C1 springs were ground flat on one end and used flat shims. That aluminum shim is the type that would be used on a C2 type spring.

Bob, my 60 BB car did not have the fans bent as yours show. Must have been an owner thing.
