My new job driving a Greyhound Bus is puttin a hurt on my hobby. No extra time.

So I am reworking my 1/4 leaf springs and I am ready to put together. seems some of the parts I need are not available from moss and VB.
1.Center bolt: will probably use regular bolt if unable to source.
2.U bolt at axle end
3. and the sleeves that rest against the springs (u bolts)

What is ever body doing for the hardware when reworking. I don't have enough extra springs to rob the parts I need
 
Center bolt I used a socket cap bolt. U-bolt can from mcmaster.com I think. And the sleeve was just some metal tubing from the hardware store.
 
Just remembered, square u-bolts came from a boat/trailer place.
