Yet one more leaf spring rebuild question #1

Guys - my springs did not have a liner between every leaf (top two were missing the liner).

Every leaf should have a liner in between it and the one above it, no?

The Workshop Manual shows that the interleaves are between the top 4 leaves.

And the sliding surfaces were coated with a graphite grease.

C Ya,

New ones not readily available from Robert or Moss. VB wasn't sure what they were even selling...

I'll have the OEM ones back together this weekend so we'll see where we are at that point.

Thanks guys.

Leaf Springs are not something to buy from VB.
