[QUOTE=JoeVanGeaux;115812]How timely! I was just going through my resources (the wife call it my junk pile.... but would you expect anything else?) and was about to consign an old leaf spring to the metal scrap yard (you know, to get money to buy different pieces of scrap). I have the genuine article but after swinging it for extended periods I can see a definite advantage to your lightweight profile. If its too thin and flexy, I'll just weld a reinforcement plate part way down the inside of one end and see how that goes.

Thanks!!
