Same idea as the teflon strips between leaves, I guess, but likely even better. Of course I never heard of these before either  | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 | Posies is very popular with the hot rod crowd. Probably don't advertise in the mags you read.  They aren't far from Hershey,PA and always welcome antiquers to there shop during the big Hershey swap meets. Actually, they are nice people just to visit anytime. On most days you can get a peek of their ongoing builds.

I used a Posies reverse eye super slide spring on the front of my Model A when I built it in the late 1980's. I painted it with DP-90 epoxy primer, it's still looks quite good today.

DG You're never to old Denny. File this under it's all good  They make a quality product and are well known in their realm as "Posie's", kind of like "Stovebolt"... speaking of which, since we are on "The Stovebolt" site, and we aren't building coal or wood burning stoves, I guess we all speak lingo to some extent. | | |
