Stu's bonnet spring stretcher tool

Post by Harv »

Thought I'd put up a dedicated post on Stu's Spring Stretcher for those who haven't seen it. The original is here:

I went to make one up this afternoon, and was about 2" too short in the length of threaded rod I had :( . Using the licensed Stu Stretcher technology, I applied a little more grunt to the stetcher bit:

Worked a treat for getting the springs back onto my hinges. Those shiny springs in the photos above are the ones that FB0000 is selling here (nice product John :D ):
