Netters, I know it is not very often that one is required to design a spring for some use on their KR, and I realize that most of us builders are not engineers.... However, I came across a really neat spring design spreadsheet. All you have to do is fill in the shaded blocks, maintain a positive Margin of Safety (MS) and the spreadsheet does the rest. You'll need MS Office installed on your computer to open the Excell Spreadsheet. I use it at work frequently and it's a major time saver for me. Dan Heath posted it on his website for me: http://kr-builder.org/ScottCable Just click on spring design spreadsheet to the right of my name. Hope it helps...
