Glad I could be of assistance. Flabbergasted that I knew something that
you were unaware of. I've had UHMW strips between the leaf springs of
my 1960 Land Rover for almost 11 years now, through mud, sand and just
about any kind of natural grit you could think of and the plastic is
still in good condition.
