Hi,
Can anyone tell me what the Cotton Straps are above the leaf springs? They seem to be joined to a rubber mounting?
Its on our 1954 Hillman Minx Californian.
Where will I get new ones as 2 straps on each side are broken with age?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks everyone,
Best, Dave

You can make some yourself from webbing used on ratchet straps etc.
Quite a lot of cars in the 1950`s had these fitted.
My Morris Minor van has something similar.
Have you any photo`s of your car to post on here.?
