We have a local place here that re-arches springs. I dropped by and they sold me two clamps for $5 out the door. Not worth messing with for that amoung.

Some flat stock, a bolt, a vice, a hammer, and a drill
Or swing by the spring shop, they might even have some used ones for free

Same thing I did. $19.00 out the door for 6 clamps and 2 bolts/nuts.

When I build the leafs for the rear of my DD (Crown HD leafs + old stock main leaf), I simply unbent the stock clamps so the tabs were straight up. Drilled a hole thru then and put a bolt across. Keeps the leafs from getting misligned, yet allows them to fan out for better droop. No need to go buy new clamps, use what you already have.

I used flat steel and bolts from lowes like 9 bucks and i have enough steel to make 20 of them now
Bad thing about that is they wont allow the leafs to fan.

RIght parts make it so much easier......please do it right. Also, bastard packs suck. Went from those to OME leafs and Holy Hell does it ride better! Those clamps are cheap, like old man said.
