Default leaf spring liner

Does anybody know who manufactures the replacement liner material for the C3? I have a 75 convertible that came stock with a ten leaf rear spring. Paragon and Corvette Central sell liner kits for 7 and 9 leaf but neither sells anything for the 10 leaf. Both list the 7 and 9 leaf as being standard. But I know the 10 leaf was standard on a 1975 convertible.

If I could find the manufacture of the liner material I might be able to purchase enough to make my own liners.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

You have a replacement spring - "stock" did not come with 10 leaves.

Default 10 Leaf Spring is stock on some model years.

The NCRS manual states the 10 leaf spring was stock in 1975, it lists the stock GM part number too. I also heard from another guy who rebuilt his 10 leaf rear spring and he was certain it was stock.

Thanks to all for your assistance.

Yes, Chuck also brought this to our attention.

I stand corrected - sorry!
