Re: The Spring

We have a local spring manufacturer that offered to send us a couple for free... will post a video of our results when we get those to compare to century and mmc.

It looks like there are a few different ways to mount the spring (peg, something with screws, shaft collar?). Has anyone tested the shaft collar?

I remember reading that spring manufacturing tolerance is +/- 10% for the k value. Is there some math that determines how this affects the "bendiness" of a spring? How would one even measure the "bendiness" of a spring?
