Hi Guys,

I've pulled my 4 leaf springs apart to paint them and would like to replace the spacers between them and the connecting bolts. Here are images of the parts I require. I've looked everywhere and am yet to find someone who can supply them.

Thanks MJ

PS. Did I post the attachments correctly? I became a paying member yesterday and this is my first post with images on it.

I got the plastic "sliders" from Classic Industries.In fact I put full-length sliders between the leaves,but I bought the spring calmps from Classic and they came with the correct sliders.I just used hardware store allen-head bolts for the center bolts.

Hi Peter,

I've seen the "straps" Classic sell but was hoping for something more authentic. In regards to the connecting bolt. I'd seriously advise you to revise your decision to use "hardware store" bolts. The existing bolts are seriously heavy bolts unlike anything I've been able to find. I've been advised by a few people that using sub-standard hardware can cause bolt to shear off. One of my mates had this happen with disastrous results for his diff, wheel and sheet metal.
