Now for the springs. These are made up of separate leaves, seven for the front springs and eight longer, wider and thicker ones for the rear.
I first spot glued them at the centre, to get them aligned, then glued the remainder of the leaves and put them in a sliding former made from 1.5mm mounting board and let them dry under pressure.
Then the same for the rear springs with another larger former.
I haven't detailed the leaf clamps, as they are very small and mostly hidden - they are just narrow strips wound around the leaves to give an impression. The spring ends are hooked to fit the hangers and shackles by which they are supported.
