They can't really spring because the clamp screw shaft runs through them both so they are tied together. And with both ends supported in the walls of the body it prevents them from lifting. Also the top is countersunk into the body and clears the brass clamps by about .020" so it would add a bit of support if it did spring. Originally I was going to put a channel in the top that the brass pieces would fit in for support but I don't think there's any need for that. I can always make a new top if it becomes a problem.
