I think Rusty covered this pretty well.

I've been rebuilding springs on things from baby carriages to heavy trucks for decades. I have no issues with a repaired spring as long as its a quality repair.

I replaced broken leaves on my 'A' 45 yrs ago when I got it, with no issues since. You just need a good spring to get the extra leaves from, thats usually the tricky part.
