M416 help needed (1 Viewer)

[preacherman]

Can someone who has a m416 take some measurements for me? I am building a m416 from parts and have everything but the frame, which I am building from scratch. I need the spring hanger location measurements. I have the original hangers, shackles etc. but I need to know how far from the front of the frame the front shackle is and how far from the rear the rear shackle is. I am stuck on the project until I get the right measurements and I canot find them anywhere. I find lots of diagrams but not measurements I need.

Any help would be great! I'm burning daylight on a Saturday...haha

I measured mine. They vari a little on either side. But from the edge of the frame to the edge of the hanger is 18 3/4" & 18 13/16" front and 14 1/4" & 14 5/16" rear. If you use 18 3/4" and 14 1/4" should be good. Mine is a Johnson Furnace from 1965 all stock.
