Are the u-bolts which hold the rear springs to the axile 7 1/2 inches long and are they the same length for the four. Also can anyone tell the name of the correct material that is in between each leaf of the springs.

Re: 62 Rear Springs
Ray-----
U-bolts were used for all C1s to retain the spring to the axle. All are the same size.The bolts were 6-5/8" from the highest point to the bottom of the threads and 3-1/8" inside dimension between each end.
The C1 spring liners were a special waxed or otherwise coated fibrous material. If I recall correctly, they had steel "end caps". I think that these liners are available in reproduction from sources like Dr. Rebuild.In Appreciation of John Hinckley
