"Spring On, Fall Off"
The springs are a bit long - nothing the angle grinder can't put right. Just for interest the wire is 3mm dia (.118")

Starting to look the part Dave. So did you buy the springs or end up making them?

Darren, Steve keeps calling me a wuss, so true to form I bought them.
Winding 3mm dia spring wire isn't for wusses

Now Dave, if you had welded the springs I'd stop calling you a WUSS.

Nope - I saw the post in which Dave said he was going to buy them but people do change their minds...
