Please help locate broken trailer leaf spring emergency kits

Please help locate broken trailer leaf spring emergency kits that will get you home with a broken leaf.

Why are attachments hard to attach? My attachment icon is not active or not giving the options it has in the past. I have used it at lease twice in the last few weeks. I wanted to show temps clamp with U-bolts and plate if needed should work on the leaf due to where it's broke. Or! A trailer to axle bolted block replacing the spring a short distance.

I know that leaf springs should not be welded. But I have on 1-2 emergencies just to get the boats home from short distances. The leaf or leafs were replaced before getting on the road again. I would weld the leaf to a leaf or added plate for temp leverage and extra welding to get extra support.

I'm still learning my way around in this site. I felt I could get some info here on kits and attachments.

They were able to get the boat home and should be able to get a used or new spring tomorrow.

Where should I have posted? I ran searches in Trailers and Towing first.

Thanks,
Joe
