Default 'Hockey Puck" a Corvette

Hey there,

Again with my 1977 Vette.....BTW... I did all the brake calipers and
brake shoes etc.... job went without a hitch. The new timing chain, water
pump and entire front end is totally sealed and running fine with no leaks.

My next personal fix is to look at the rear leaf spring as the rear
wheels are sagging somewhat (very little really).. I was told by a buddy in
my corvette club that a person could get another year out of their sagging
rear leaf spring by drilling through two (Canadian eh) hockey pucks and
could be used as spacers....one on each end of the spring (drivers and
passenger side) to lift the car to make up for the sag.
I personally think this is kind of a radical type surgery but thought I
would throw this out to the corvette gurus out there.
Since we have a Hockey strike here in Canada...maybe I have a new market
for hockey pucks!.... Thoughts?

Thanks....Jim
