Putting leaf spring mounts back on
I'm going to have to put the stock springs back on the rear, no 4 link
. My question is should I bolt the stock mounts back on using apropriate hardware (grade 8 SAE/lock nuts) or just weld them. I'm running a Volare clip and I just finished boxing and C notching the frame.

If you make a mistake and weld them in the wrong spot, getting them off...will be an itchbay!

Grade eights grade eight washers and fine thread grade eight nylocks. Will do fine for the hardware. Redrill the holes as they can be oval from the riveting process.
What happened with the four link?
