Default 1936 Springs and Manuals

Making progress on the frontend of my Fordor. We have the frontend all apart and I'm cleaning parts and painting.

I see that the front spring leaf's have a groove for grease along with a grease fitting for keeping them lubed. In the parts catalogs I do not see any spring liners for the 36. It is obvious there weren't any in the springs when they came apart. So, my question is: 1. Did the springs come with liners originally? 2. Should I try to install liners between the leaf's or just rely on the grease to keep them from squeaking? 3. I will be painting the leaf's individually before reinstalling them.

Also, what manuals could you suggest for working on the frontend/chassis and other parts of the 36?

Thanks,
John
