Welder Series carries two varieties of parallel Model A rear four bar kits. The only difference in the two kits is the frame brackets; the kit for stock-style frames incorporates the tapered rear frame rail, while keeping the bar mounting holes vertical. Kits now use the larger 1-3/4" wide urethane bushings and 3/4-16 threaded adjusters. Kits are supplied in both welded and ready to weld versions. In the ready to weld kit, the customer is responsible for all the welding.

This kit is designed for Model ‘A’ Fords with the frame rail tapered from a side view. Many repro frames also incorporate this taper (Total Cost Involved, Brookville, Pete & Jake’s, and others). The bars mount below and outside the frame rail. The frame bracket holes will be about 25-1/2″ ahead of the rear axle centerline. This will clear TANKS saddle tanks. Rear axle brackets have 3 mounting holes for the coil-overs. Bars are 1″ heavy-wall seamless mechanical tubing, tapped one end 3/4-16 RH and notched for the 21309 tube on the other end.

This kit is designed for aftermarket frames using rectangular tubing rails without a taper. The bars mount below and outside the frame rail. The frame bracket holes will be about 25-1/2″ ahead of the rear axle centerline. This will clear TANKS saddle tanks. Formed rear axle brackets have 3 mounting holes for the coil-overs. Bars are 1″ heavy-wall seamless mechanical tubing, tapped one end 3/4-16 RH and notched for the #21309 tube on the other end.
Both kits include: Bars, adjusters, frame brackets (with support plate), axle brackets, bushings, and hardware.

Grant Schwartz uses a slightly modified version of this kit on F100 pickups... he notches the bars to kick the axle brackets outside the rails, then mounts the coilovers to the side of the frame.
Every customer is different. You’re different from the next customer. That’s why they’re called 'custom'ers. There is no formula, no equation that will work with all of you. It takes a different approach to everyone to determine how best to serve anyone. Some people need videos, some people need descriptions. Some people need us to weld it together. Our approach has been, and will always be, to serve each of you where you are and to treat you the same way we would like to be treated. We officially opened the doors to Welder Series in 2005. That doesn’t sound like very long, because the product line has been percolating for over 40. Paul Horton began developing and building many of the parts we still manufacture when I wasn’t yet a twinkle in Dorothy’s eye. Thanks very much for your business and support over the years.

Note DW and Paul Horton at Welder Series absolutely rock and were quick, prompt, by far the best communication I’ve had with an online vendor in a LONG LONG TIME… (Sorry but their response time was bar none awesome). Very rarely do you find the level of dedication to a customer, communication, and a rewarding experience for both the buyer and supplier. I bought a pedal assembly a bit ago, and that experience automatically ensured that I will source Welder Series before I search for another vendor. Paul and DW have it together and will make a solution to your problem… and probably at the best price around to boot.
I have purchased a few of the products that Welder Series offers and been pleased each time. The products are as advertised and they ship in a timely manner.
I am also impressed with their customer service. I asked them if they had a brake pedal kit (mount, pivot, pedal, bushings, etc) for a right hand drive application. They did not have a kit per se but were able to put together pieces from their catalog to make one I could modify the Master Cylinder mount to make it face the other way (I had to cut the top off and weld it back on facing the other way, cheaper than ordering a one off part, and I don’t have a way to bend metal that thick, everything else fit up as intended). It worked as they described.
I just finished installing a Welder Series rear sway bar kit over the weekend. My all-steel ’35 sedan handled in the traditional “scrape off the running boards” way… even with a front sway bar. The kit went together nicely, everything fit perfectly and now the car goes around a corner 100% better… no more extreme lean. DW was a huge help in putting together a little bit different kit for me since I am using a tubular rear crossmember and also made some suggestions that really helped in the fabrication. You can depend on these guys… they are “for real” hot rod guys that offer really cool products. I’ll post a picture or two when I get the chance to put the car on a hoist for a better photo op. Thanks DW & crew.
