That’s interesting. I have a 6 leaf on my EK - 2106 and was thinking wow that’s a lot of
spring. And a lot of weight mind you. So I can carry a good load.

215 = standard sedan.
225 = special sedan.
219 = standard station wagon.
229 = special station wagon.
2104 = panel van.
2106 = ute.

Interesting that the MasterParts (5
leaves) clashes with the Workshop Manuals (6
leaves):

My wagon and Grace's ute both have six
leaves. The FB and EK Workshop manuals say the same:
- Workshop manual - springs.jpg (738.79 KiB) Viewed 4534 times
The FB Parts Manual adds a bit more info:
- FB parts manual - springs.jpg (100.12 KiB) Viewed 4534 times
The ute and van springs were changed from 7412385 (six
leaves) to 7419193 (five
leaves) somewhere between the cars being released and the MasterParts being printed. The Specials stayed at 7412386, but that assembly number changed from six to five
leaves.
Cheers,
Harv

I might have even had another couple of
leaves added at some point.

Slightly off-topic, but -
EJ-HR sedan springs, even though they carry different part numbers, are composed of the same leaves.
Same deal for EJ-HR wagon springs.
