re: snapping springs.. yep anything that comes loose in front of the byron fan will go through the fan. that is why the more used ones have lots of nicks in the blades. some guys started safty wiring things in place, passing a wire through the center of the spring... again, if things come loose, there is more metal to pass through the fan.

it took a few more days to get that out than i had thought. i hope it works out for you...
