Glad I could be of assistance.  Flabbergasted that I knew something that 
you were unaware of.  I've had UHMW strips between the leaf springs of 
my 1960 Land Rover for almost 11 years now, through mud, sand and just 
about any kind of natural grit you could think of and the plastic is 
still in good condition.
