bugeye: 1/4 springs advice

On the Bugeye project, I am getting closer to puting the rear underside back together after clean/repair/repaint. My leafs are rusted badly and are going to be replaced. Moss sell the 10 spring replacement but seems I will need to piece back together from old springs and mine are missing a piece here and there.

1.Is there a place I can send my springs to for rebuild
2.Does anyone sell complete 1/4 spring so I will not need to find missing pieces?
3.Are the 1/4 springs Moss sells OK. I know they lower the car which is a plus. but is it better to have current springs redone?

I am not sure about the bottom leaf and clamps

I will need #4 and bolts. It appears the only thing you get are the springs

I am redoing my springs and am about 1/2 way done. Wish I had never started. Take them to a local spring shop and ask: How much? I did get new #4s, not sure where.
