hammer spring rails

[Paul]

Mike
I've replaced the springs with great success. it is a fairly simple job. The
springs from the supply houses need to be modified and weakened but the
results are well worth the effort. I didn't have a drill bit small enough to
ream the holes but an appropriate piece of piano wire did the job.
