[Tigers] rear leaf springs

Greetings Tiger fans,

My 1965 Sunbeam Tiger's passenger side rear master leaf has snapped.  I am
sure it is original to the vehicle, and cannot imagine why it would let go
after 40+ years of use.  It is funny because that side of the car always seems
to have traction problems during spirited take offs too. Would anyone have a
recommendation on where to find replacement leaves or a stock rear leaf
assembly available?  I see the Victoria British (I know I know) has rear leaf
assemblies available.  Anyone try their suspension parts lately?  Dale's has
been contacted.  Should one attempt to repair a single side or would it be
recommended to go for a set?

Any other direct replacements known in the after market would also be
helpful.

Thanks in advance!
