Re: leaf spring clamps
The old article on the Gibb/Harrel Novas shows the spring clamps being installed...shouldn't be too hard to replicate.

Re: leaf spring clamps
You can run them on the street, but the ride is noticeably stiffer. Also, I have the Mr. Gasket set, they are a bit too wide and will hit your frame rails when the car squats. You will need to grind about a 1/4" off the ends that face the c/l of the car - both sides, ie; all 4 plates!

Re: leaf spring clamps
I have the spring clamps on my 69 RS/SS and it is a good bit stiffer for daily driving. They're off in 5 minutes so no big deal.

Re: leaf spring clamps
I've been running a set of DH clamps on my 68 for a few years now. I use them with the Lakewood bars..What a difference.The car hooks harder and goes straighter...

Re: leaf spring clamps
The clamps will be going on shortly, noticed the front end of the leafs are a bit "tweaked" already, going with the DH method. Anybody use an aftermarket pinion/front of diff. snubber,? seems the factory one ain't cuttin it and some marks are being on left on the floor pan above the rear U joint. Thanks for the tips/pics.
