I'm working on a pair of leaf springs right now. I've disassembled a new set from Eaton spring to change out the incorrect aspects -- smallest leaf is cut differently and the plastic pads are different. There's no way to get those old clamps off without compromising the tabs, so I bought a set from Craig as well.
What I noticed in disassembling the leafs is that the metal is actually your standard steel blue-grey color, not the "natural" steel color everyone paints them with, so I'm debating on what color I should coat them with.
Thoughts?
