Default Re: Removing leaves of rear spring to lower 33/34 coupe

I got a reverse eye main leaf from Vern Tardel, now were going to assemble the spring again. I looked at Posies, but i wanted to use original parts, like kind of traditional and was wondering what they would have done in the old days (leaving rear cross member stock that is)
Thought about the liner too, but does it make a real difference!?
The U-bolts i would shorten and add threads. Interesting solution to remove top leaf and add to bottom to retain thickness ( TomT&#128077.
However as David pointed out, i gather that the top leaf should stay as is to be in correct position to the inside corners of the rear cross member (what an insight&#128563 That would leave the 2nd leaf as an option to be removed. I think i would leave it at that, hoping one leaf removed (2nd from the top) gives the car an almost original ride without beeing too spongie.
Dont know if that makes any sense!🤔
