[TR] Tr4 Leaf springs

[Andrew Uprichard]

Sorry - need to be more careful as I type - I did use polyethylene plastic.
In fact, I think it was after reading a post about the advantages.

Probably not the best substance.   I mush prefer UHMW (ultra-high 
molecular weight) Polyethylene plastic.

This plastic provides a low friction surface, similar to Teflon tape, but
with a much higher abrasion and puncture resistance. It was designed
specifically for commercial use on chutes, packaging lines, slides, and
anywhere high pressure metal to metal sliding contact occurs. It also
provides sound dampening, eliminating squeaks and rattles caused by adjacent
parts movement. The plastic's temperature range is -40 to +225 degrees F.
