Arguably the half elliptic spring will give a smoother ride than the
quarter elliptic spring. It's quite a lot of work to undertake the conversion
and I'm not convinced it would be worth the trouble.

I have a friend who bought a 59 Bugeye. . he also bought a 71 Midget for
parts and he thinks he would be better off to convert the rear springs to
the full length type.
I told him that he would be better off to leave the rear half springs that
are already on his Bugeye . . and save himself from the hassle of trying to
weld in new mounts for the longer springs. And that the half length
springs
will allow his car to handle better as they were part of the original
design.
I told him that I would send a note to the list to confirm.
Any input to try and save my friend from doing the unnecessary is
welcomed.
Thanks,
Kirk
