Hmm, something to think about doing for the leaf springs. Any idea on the polypropelyne thickness, and a source for the eye inserts? I didn't see them in the steele catalog. Eaton spring or Kanter/Max? Realistically I am still a month or so away from doing the leaf springs looking at my 'schedule'. I still have to finish the frame before I start putting parts back on. But I guess that gives me time to procure parts and material....
POR15'd the spring to axle pads and 2 U bolts for the rear axle this evening...second coat will go on tomorrow.

Also, are the brake lines 3/16 inch? I think I will order a roll of cunifer since the old steel lines were kind of pieced together going to the rear axle. That is 4,76 millimeter here...
Guten Abend!
