Default Accelerator Leaf Springs

The accelerator leaf springs on my carrier Part Nos CTL 7102/3/4 have rusted away, can anybody tell me what metal this would have been. Is it spring steel, mild steel or what?

They transfer the accelerator rod action through the engine bulkhead

Hi Ian

They are a series of thin, flat plates made of Spring steel. Do you have the remains to make templates?
