Hi Doug,
Much as I beleive in re-conditioning parts I wouldn't re-condition springs.
If the steel has lost its compliance it isn't going to get it back unless
there is some sort of heat treatment that does the job?

with a wire wheel, grind smooth any gouges or other bad spots, paint, then
reassemble. Anyone have any thoughts about using Teflon or some other
plastic material between the leaves? The idea would be to reduce friction
between the leaves. I would probably have to omit one leaf to make up for
the added thickness of the plastic material.
Comments? >>
