Kyber pass springs!

Well, it's like rasing chickens, some make and some don't!

and so it is with the home made springs! One of them has survived several hundred cycles, and one just gave up the ghost shortly afer installation! So, do we give up? Not likely!
I revisited the first attempt with the, "KING KONG!" springs that were too thick, but more importantly, a more forgiving alloy being SAE1075 more inline with shade tree attempts and results...
I then thinned and tapered one of them to closely replicate the originals, and now have an understanding of why they go from thick to thin? I'm sending them off tomorrow, or there'abouts, and we will take another shot at this... best, til....lat'r....GT
