It looks like a good replacement for the BHP shock cord design. One concern that I have though is the clearance between the 1" OD tube and 3/4" OD tube. There is about .060" clearance between the tubes. Seems a little excessive. Anyone with experience with this? -------- Harv, 485PB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=475829#475829 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/spring_gear_119.pdf ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:24:18 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Main Gear Spring Design From: "jarheadpilot82" Here is another option.
