Leaf Spring Clamps

[TheGriz]

Can someone help me find some leaf spring clamps (???). I'm referring the the metal straps that you bend around your leaf pack to keep them together.

I live in the triangle, but don't have a clue who might carry these.

Not sure about the actual little metal straps, but you could try agri supply, tractor supply, northern tool, etc, go into the trailer dept, and get some of the little square u-bolts that are about the width of your springs, and a little metal plate and make your own.

Just use some 1/8" x 1" steel from Lowes and make your own. Bend, tack weld, done. What I did anyway.

Will the fabbing ever end? I used to hate bolting stuff on... now I'm dreaming of it.

Thats what i did on mine, it works great,

I pre cut all the pieces, c-clamped them under the bottom of the spring, bfh's them up to match the width.

then put the clamp on the sides and BFH'd them down on top overlapping them.

I then clamped the top and bottom and side to make sure it was tight, tacked the two ends together, took the clamps off and then welded them.

I then put a little tack from the clamp to top leaf to keep them from sliding front to rear.

Works great, and I can't take credit for it. JC that credit is all yours and I thank you.

Another home made set here. Just used two pieces of 1/4" strap and bolted the top and bottom piece around the spring.
