Default RE: Skymaster Hawk Once Again (at least!)

Hello RONW

I don`t have the specifications at all. The person who made the springs for me,also works for a Spring Company. Just ask your friend to increase the gap,between the coils,so that it is a little longer than the original spring - about 13 mm longer. The gap between the coils: 4 - 5 mm. Now you must cut this spring shorter,using a Dremel Tool,with a grinding disk attatched to it. You must get the length right,so that you can get the oleo leg assembled,without having to compress the spring very much. Believe me,its not an easy task. You can keep the spring material the same thickness as the old one.

When I have got a little "free time", I`ll have a few more of these springs made up and will send you 2 of them. Then you can have some spare ones made for yourself or anyone who needs them - okay?

Regards
