 Subject:  Forget the springsList thread.  
  
 Date:  Dec 19, 2007
 From:  James Wechsler 
I've built this suspension twice. My recommendation is to completely leave off the springs. You can build the suspension perfectly well without them. Just glue the parts in place once you have their position aligned. The springs tend to jam up the whole thing and make it very hard to get the right alingment.
