Re: IML: HD Torsion Bar Question

["Frederick Joslin" <fljoslin@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Kenyon:

 

My 69 LeBaron 2 door has the 517 LT and 516 RT torsion bars presumably because of the tow package.

This shows up on the broadcast sheet, but not on the fender tag. My car also has the external trans cooler.

I do not know if the trans cooler is only part of the tow package or if it was present on all Imperials of this vintage.    

If the trans cooler is unique to the tow package, it would identify cars with that package and thus the heavy duty torsion bars.

My Hollanders manual shows that there are
standard-duty torsion bars for 70-73 Imperials.

Part nos. 512R and 513L

It also shows 516R and 517L as interchange that are
"Heavy Duty".

I have not looked at my bars yet, but presume that
they are standard.

If I wanted Heavy Duty, is there a known source for
them, or is this sort of thing just NLA? Anyone know
what the difference is or how to quantify it?

I'll further presume that since nobody is really
looking for them, that it's unlikely that anyone has
them (besides maybe Frank Mitchell, who will want a
fortune if he has them).
