HI Phil
i have the very same box of springs never thought of using them like that so ive learnt something again, i like this type of building it is more saticefying to make it yourself than just buying parts and sticking them on especialy when they look as good as your spring hatches well done .
all the best ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,nick

Thanks Nick.
After looking at my photo of the Cupola Spring Stay I went back and trimmed the
Leg of the spring and the edges of the plate a bit,just to make it look better.
Cheers
Phil

He looks very comfortable.

[phil fitzpatrick]

Thanks Mick and John
He might not be so comfortable if I decide to use a little spike up
his bum to stop him falling off his seat over rough ground
Cheers
