8 leaf to 7 leaf rear spring conversion

[SAXBY2]

With an 8 leaf rear spring, what leaf can be removed to make a 7 leaf roadster spring ?
Both size spring bars to the crossmember are on hand.
The spring chart frequently posted shows the numbering starting at the bottom, and it appears that the #8 or 2nd spring from the top of the 8 leaf could be removed to get close to the 7 leaf profile? The removed leaf could be used as the dummy under the #1 or largest leaf if needed to make up the difference for the spring bars.
