A good opporchancity for a thread hi-jack

Oldschool and others can sit at the back of the class with their arms folded-nodding, knowingly

Tip for fitting a very tight spring, i.e. side or centre stand type.

If you bend the spring the coils open up slightly-slip as many washers, bits of broken lolly sticks, penny pieces etc as you can along the length of the spring (alternating sides as you go)-this will make it longer-and you can slip the ends onto the pins with ease.

no swearing and throwing/kicking things were involved in the making of this 'top-tip'

I thang yu
