Composite leaf springs....

I am posting for my father-in-law.......Does anybody have composite leaf springs under their '42-'48 FORD and if so, what do you think about them? He is looking at putting some under his '46 Coupe. Thanks in advance!

Pro's and Con's please...

Chris

Pro's they have a longer life then steel. Con's they can get nicked by stones and damaged. I have seen guys wrap them in duct tape.
