67 rear leaf spring

[John F.]

I am having one of those senior moments that I am having more frequently of late. I dissasembled a standard, though not original, 9 leaf spring and now I cannot remember the order of leaf assembly. Are the top three leaves inverted with no liner between the thrid and fourth leaves? I have some photos that show them that way but it does not look right. And, it does not look like I can slide it back over the exhausts and up to the carrier with the top leaves inverted, even though it slid out with not top much difficulty.

Help!

Thanks,
John

Hi John,
All arcs go the same direction , the outer edge of all leaves other than the main are thinner on the ends and flare upwards. There is no liner between the 6th and 7th leaves as counted from the bottom (main) to the top. If you want paint the leaves light gray semmi-gloss..All info can be found in the judging manual
