1050 forum posts 56 photos	For my Princess of Wales bogie I bought mine from Reeves. About 0.034" thick, ie 20 /21 swg. That's the only thickness that they offer. Are you going to use it for main springs? Edited By Clive Brown 1 on 05/04/2023 14:41:02

75 forum posts 22 photos	Hello Clive Yes it is for the main springs on the Loco, the only problem we have is that the buckle shows it would take 22 leaves if it was 22swg to fit the hole in the buckle but the plan calls for 16. Kind Regards Roy
