Subject: Leaf Spring Bodge Buttons
These were in one of my rear leaf springs so I thought I would make new ones and a set for the other side as well I have the bronze and a lathe but would like to know the appropriate thickness. As you can see some are more worn than others.
Already done, made a bunch of them a little thicker than what was in there. I am going to now assemble the leaf packs and see what it looks like. I had 4 new main springs made ,fronts are assembled on the frame. If I knew what the whole front 'sprung" weight was I could see if I have the minimum 2 inches clearance to the bump stops.
