Default S=Flat Sprint Specifications

Ron, Thanks for all your effort. That's as complete a set a specs as anyone could have asked for, short of hammering out the spring flat and measuring the actual length. That should be enough for a prototype.

...and Dwight, thanks for that bit of advice. I would have thought that slightly longer hooks would have been an improvement. I will endeavor to keep them exactly the same length as the original.

...and I can't leave out Jamese... who has kindly offered to send me his old broken spring to use for shape and whatever else it can be used for...

let''s get this show on the road... I will report back when I have obtained the necessary raw materials.
