Title: Rear spring slipper pads
Post by: Pahs59 on October 18, 2020, 08:37:30 AM
Can you still buy the original style,the rectangular ones with the lip the spring sits in or do they only make them round like I’ve seen for sale
Cheers

I’ve not seen any for sale.
If you have access to a few sets of springs, usually the inner pads are not worn as badly as the ones at the ends of the springs.

Maybe cut some poly slide into the size you want?

Yes that right the nylon ones that go onto end of each spring leaf...I looked on the rares spares site And they have them but only for Fx-Fj ,,they look the same but the specs say there for the wide spring leaf...does anyone know how much wider the FJ spring is to FE-FC
