No problem Bernt. Here are the clamped leaf springs that really stiffened up the rear suspension.

No "C" notches required, just fabricated axle bumpers from the stock units.

Mark, Thanks for the comment, I welcome them all. I'm just trying to share what's needed to be able to compete and go straight. The long studs are but one of a "long as your arm" list of safety requirements. Pinion mount panhard bar.

charlie What is the reason for the panhard bar on a leaf spring car, do you think there is enough lateral movement at high speed to need this, or is the other thinking?

Gary, That's a good question, it wouldn't seem like one would be needed to go in a straight line. Drag racers use them all the time because of rear axle "walk" during launches and shifts and road racers need them for cornering. I've done my best with the rear springs to maintain stability by making them stiffer and installing new bushings. Even with that there is some side play and just a little creates some "rear steer" that increases with speed. The main problem would be in a spin. You want that chassis to be stable and stay as flat as possible.
