M38 Leaf Spring Clamp broke

Post by Harsh »

Hi guys,

I was trying to separate the leaves off the M38 leaf springs in order to clean them up, but unfortunately one of the clamps broke in the process. The clamps are riveted on the bottom leaf. I wanted to know if there is an alternative way to clamp the leaves or would I need to buy the whole leaf spring.

Thanks,
Harsh

I had one break on my M-100 when I referbed that, I just broke out the welder and welded it back together... Depending on where it broke of course... Mine broke at the top fold over point...
