Old thread I know, but a search didn't turn up anything.

Does anyone sell the CORRECT slider (or silencer), part number 3935737.  Four required per side, 8 total.
The kit that heartbeat city sells looks like the correct clamps and rivets, but not the sliders.

The ones in the hbc kit look like the ones I got from Eaton DS.

If no one makes the correct part, any chance anyone has some extras?  I need 2, but would like to have 4.

Eaton sells them, go to their website they are like a dollar each.

Thanks James.

Yep, http://www.eatonsprings.com/tipinsertsreboundclipsubolts.html
Part #33C133 2"X2.5" oblong cup $0.95 each
Bad part is you will get nailed on shipping. Why HBC sells that kit and states the spacers are exact except for the nib I'm not sure.

[lynnbilodeau]

Yes, shipping was $15 and some change.  Only choice is fedex ground to a residence, even though I am having them shipped to my office.   Option of priority mail for 6 bucks would be nice.  Oh well.

Seems like hbc would get a supply of these to sell with that kit.  All the vendors sell lots of part that are "exact".  Problem is most are not exact.

Here are the springs I purchased. I was expecting them to look more like new metal. Like media blasted, but these are supposed to be correct. I have seen so many pictures of restored cars, that have a much lighter grey finish. Are the ones I have correct looking. They seem to have some kind of a thin grease coating on them. I purchased these locally, and I think they came from D & R classics.

The reason you see different colors on restored cars? Everybody and their brother has tried to duplicate the blue/grey color of original springs. You finally get something you can live with and call it a day. We probably mixed 20 pints of paint trying for a color. The only thing that jumps out at me is you are missing a retainer on the mid rear section of the springs. Mine has 3 where you only have 2. Mike keep in mind I have 5 leaf springs and that maybe the difference. Somebody with 4 leaf setup will let you know

[lynnbilodeau]

The four leaf springs only have two rebound clamps each.
