1952-59 Ford What to do about rear leaf spring clamps?

Pulled the rear suspension yesterday, now tearing it down for a complete rebuild. The leaf spring clamps (3 per spring) are throwing me for a loop. Obviously, not factory. According to the FSM, factory clamps have ears pointing down that are secured with a bolt. These look like you insert and thread them together, kinda like a wire tie.....weird. Looks like the only way to remove them is to cut them off.



C&G Ford Parts sells some but they don't look right either!

Dennis Carpenter sells the rubber liners but don't know if they'll work with the C&G clamps.

I want to disassemble and sandblast each leaf before painting and reassembling. Anyone have any ideas? Better yet, anyone have six originals laying around?

 

Those springs look like they are are made by Posi springs

 

Is there a shop around that repairs springs. They may have the clamps your looking for or they may have another solution

 

I did the same to the springs on my car. After I finished painting them I took them to a local spring shop for pads and clamps.

 

The clamps from C&G are meant to be clamped down over the springs that' the only reason they look odd.

 

I took Paul2748's advice. Found a local spring shop and they had exactly what I needed!



$25 got me six of 'em. Thanks Paul!

 

Glad it worked out
