Default Front leaf spring threaded inserts

Does anyone know where I can get a set of these without having them custom made or buying a complete new spring? These are the inserts that the adjuster bolt threads into. Thanks in advance.

Dave

Hopefully he can get some out a damaged spring. He doesn't take credit cards guess send him a money order to speed things up. Good Luck Dave! Even a local junk yard if you are in a rush. Adjuster bolt you can get from Hardbar.net if you need those.

Yep. At your suggestion a few months ago I got the bolts from Hardbar. I went to put them in and noticed the inserts missing The holes look to be in good shape though.

You can get the inserts from Vette Brakes for about $8 each. These are the inserts for their extreme springs, but I assume the inserts are interchangable with GM inserts.
