Two sets for me, please, Craig.
Can you do them in stainless...?

I could do stainless, but I think that they may be difficult to do the finish bending during installation.

Again If you want a set of these PLEASE PM me and I will send you details. I will be keeping track of this thru my PM box, Thanks

There is a question as to weather the originals were plated or not. I took the original samples that I have and checked for plating and found none, but I did find markings on both the clamps.

These clamps from craig fit and are pre-bent to the the T. Craig ya did it again...somehow, you need to take over quality control of repro companies.

Default Leaf clamps

It looks like you guys (Craig) did a he'll of a job. I just pulled the rear end out of my 71T/A and sent the springs to an old New Orleans chassis and spring shop to get blasted and bent to the correct specs. My clamps were old but somewhat servicable. Where do the black rubber insulators come from? Anyway, who do I need to get in touch with to get a full set lof these clamps. Thanks a lot-Pip

Another issue, I just went thru...where are you going to get the rubber insulator that goes under the clamp? No one makes that and generally they are missing or dry rotted.

Those tend to be plastic
I have a few used, but they are not nice...

Default Rubber/plastic insulators

Bruce, thanks for the source on the insulators. I imagine there isn't another source or manufacturer for them huh ? Still waiting to see what mine look like when I go see the spring guys.
