Default Re: 8 leaf to 7 leaf rear spring conversion

#9 leaf from the bottom doesn't appear to be part of the 7 leaf or 8 leaf spring makeup , so perhaps removing #8 is the removed one.
You're right! My mind's eye got hung up in the "red line" (i.e. B spring)

If you could come up with a No. 6 leaf from springs C, B or A you would be all set after cutting down.

Again, a drawing of the spring assemblies would be best as from this you have the leaf thicknesses (there are only three options discounting the "beveling") but you don't have the actual spring leaf "lengths" (or caul bending/pre-tensioning)

Ebay currently has two rear spring leaves (2-1/4" wide) for sale. One 12" long, the other 15". I can't tell you which leaf in particular these are or the spring application. There may be something there for you.
