Rustys no help... where do i get teflon leaf spring pads

jonn · Sep 20, 2006

i have the rustys 6.5 inch leaf pack and on a few of my teflon pads(round discs between ends of spring) the tab has broken off so they are falling out. i called rustys but they had no idea where to get new ones, which seemed strange to me seeing as they sold the leafs.
any idea where i can get some new ones? about 2inches diameter with a 1/4 inch tab that inserts into hole on spring.

thanks, i saw that thread when i searched but i don't want to go that way. Just want the disc shaped pads.

can;t you make your own disc shaped pads if you buy the teflon?

i could make no own but i need it to have a tab on it to press into the hole in the leaf so it stays in place.

reduce friction between leaves and keeps them quieter

I may have some rectangular pads slightly used laying around here. Let me know how many are needed and what size hole is in those leafs also if its round or oblong.
