Kurt;
I bought my springs at one of the local " surplus " stores in my area. I
remember the box saying they were seat return springs for cars. What
caught my attention was the fact there were left and right handed. These
go at the hinge point where the seat back attaches to the side of the
seat.
I think Prof. Joe addressed spring tension some time in the past and I used his
calculations to determine what I needed. I was going to use a system
that had common springs that I could get at the local hardware store ,but these
came up cheap and I adapted. I mounted my springs outside the hull so as
to keep as much room inside as possible. The The result is that yard
and woods I've been testing are that my suspension gathers a lot of trash
along with the return rollers.
