Listers,

A while back, there was a discussion on the types of liners used between leafs 
on rear springs.  According to my catalogs, the later cars used rubber strips, 
but our BN2 has metal strips which, if I recall, are made of zinc.

Does anyone know the type of zinc alloy (or pure zinc) used?  Also, does anyone 
know a source for the strips or for zinc sheet in the correct type and 
thickness?  Alternatives (think teflon was mentioned)?

TIA,
Bob
