Are you talking about the clamps that go around all the leafs to keep them from turning sideways among themselves?

I got some from a local suspension shop. When I bent a leaf with my new motor I had to find a place to re-arch it and he suggested I put 2 clamps each leaf pack instead of 1 per pack. He sold them to me for $2 each. :2cents:
