Started on the spring mounts and perches today. Sourced the material to make the spring clamps. So the perches are done, and spring cushions installed. I cut some medium hardness clear malleable plastic sheet and heated it with a heat gun to get it to mold into the spring perches. Worked really well and can't move them at all. The spring clamp (cover shown on far end of spring) will have tubing welded on each of the four corners for 5/16" bolts and will have a similar clamp piece on the bottom of the frame. The whole thing assembled should ensure the spring stays where it is mounted. Haven't gotten the steel in yet so waiting on it to ensure they are a close fit to the side of the frame tubing.
