Instead of springs, I am using my rubber bends sling shot method. What I did is drive 2 nails a few inches away but facing the gussets, string a 1/2 in wide rubber bands (got them from Office Depot) on the 2 nails, and place a 5/8 in. stick between the rubber band and the gussets. The tension created will push the gusset tight against the verticals. Depending on how much tension you want on the gussets, you can length of the sticks used. The bag of about 40 rubber band cost me $1.12 and the sticks are scraps from the verticals & longerons. Hope this helps.

Can anyone recommend what type of spring to use? What I really need to know is how stiff does it need to be (and how 'stiff-ness' is measured)?
