Denny I think I'll just sit back and let you do the grunt work solving this problem. When you have it finished let me know. In the meantime I'll be thinking of you working away as I chug my beer!!
Actually going back to the teflon strips between the leaves, I have done this. I bought a sheet of teflon and cut it accordingly. Some of my springs actually have notches in them from the spring above or below rubbing. However the ride is smooth.
