What I've noticed over time is the leaf springs are starting to fan out. Because there are no keepers to prevent this action. This is my fix, I made twelve. Four for each spring,  These will work on the series 1 and series 2 lika, I also made some for Grier's car.
I will be posting on both series 1 and series 2 message boards. I'm using the small brake. The shop has 4 of them one small and three large.

So where on the leaf springs do you plan on mounting them?
