The Mather 10 leaf springs found on most M-100 Trailers (and some M-416) are about as close as one can find. When buying the 10 Leaf Mathers from the above trailers, get visual confirmation, as there is a chance for error as at least 3 manufacturers were involved. Mather is obvious as they look the same as WWII.
We are 70+ years into Jeeps and most OEM parts are just about extinct for the average collector.

I got a set of 10 leaf springs off of a 1943 Bantam Trailer. They are the same as those on the MB.

Thanks for the replies, though I don't need a lesson on springs, I just need the actual springs. Thanks

Try these on eBay not mine and no link. Shipping may be too high.

Still looking for an original set of front springs for my Mb. I have stuff to trade like an early GPW tranny.
