Stop in for a cup of coffee

Hello All! Got a call from the powdercoat shop today, bad news, my springs evidently had pads in between the leaves, melted out. I'm kinda thinking if that's what they do that they should have known it was at least possible. Does anyone know if these springs can or should be ran like this?

Those "pads" are called Delrin liners and are absolutely crucial for safety and proper operation.

The ONLY way to powder coat leaf springs is to disassemble the pack, prep and coat each leaf individually, and install new Delrin liners in between.
