69 BB Best Convertible Rear Spring

[Brad H.]

I am restoring a 69 427 / 390 convertible and need a rear leaf spring. Anyone have first hand knowledge of the best place to find a rear leaf spring with the correct look and spring rate? The car had a composite spring so I need a new one. I believe the 390 HP used the 9 leaf. Is that correct or was the 7 leaf used on all the bb cars? I have seen the ads in the Driveline for the Totally Correct leaf spring from America's Finest Corvettes. Anyone have thoughts on their spring or recommendations for others?
Thanks As Always!

9 leaf would be correct.

I would try and find an original. They are not that difficult to find, even in good condition.
All of the repros have issues with some of the details.
