Leaf Spring Restoration
« on: February 03, 2013, 12:57:53 AM »
After looking at my piles of parts that used to be my mustang for quite some time, I finally "restored" something and put it back together, so I am pumped! :)  It gives me some hope that maybe I really can eventually get my car back together.    :P

Attached are before and after pictures of my leaf springs.  With the wonderful tips I learned on this forum, I took the route of using evaporust to clean the leaves after dis-assembly, then put in new bushings, new center bolt, and new spring clamps.  I simply put boeshield on the cleaned leaves without any other treatment.  I repainted the yellow stripes on with "one-shot" sign painters enamel, primrose yellow straight out of the can.
