Im looking for both of these springs for my 63 Lemans, V8 3 speed.

After days of researching, the part numbers I've found are 545129 and 545130. They aren't made anymore, but im sure there are springs out there to be found. Maybe GM cross referencing maybe? But ive found nothing as of yet.

I've called and emailed many places that deal with our cars as well as others (Buick, Oldsmobile and Corvairs from around the same year). Businesses that deal with manual transmissions as well as the springs themselves, and even a few salvage yards, with little luck.

If I knew the length and dimensions of these 2 springs it would be very helpful in finding suitable replacements.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I have a few NOS #9787410 anti rattle springs for 65 thru 72 MT vehicles. Don't know if they will cross over, as my parts book only shows back to 65. If you want to take a gamble, I'll take $25 each plus the ride.

Thanks JS.

I did take a chance on 2 springs already. Im waiting for them to come in the mail. But not knowing much about what the originals look like up close, does make it difficult trying to get it right....or even close enough that it'll work. Time will tell.

I'll keep this offer in mind if these don't work out.
