Steve and all:
There are no rear spring issues on my own car. But I'm wondering ref 'loose
spring eyes' below. Which model did you do the aluminum shim thing and
another leaf to.

I had this from English springs from Cape--so the good springs must be all
coming from the same place.
This topic came up only a couple of weeks ago.
1/8" aluminum worked fine as a shim underneath the top of the front spring
band. You could make a piece with a pre-bent tab on one side and a tab on
the other side, then use a c-clamp to hold the leaves together tightly, then
slip the shim in, then fold the flat tab up to keep it in place. On
releasing the c-clamp, all should be non-rattly.
Also there's enough room in the center bands to add another leaf off the old
spring--the 19.5" one.
