Springs for the Moxon

[Adam Grund]

Adam,
I ordered these: https://www.mcmaster.com/1692K47/ They are quite large, but they work very very well.

Hey thanks!
I’m not sure why, but when I searched the first time I didn’t see any options up that large. Must’ve just not paid attention close enough

Another option is to skip the springs and the problems they have with being left compressed, and add a garter. I have mine on the outside of the chop so no morticing involved.
I did this back in 2011 and since have realized some problems with my design of the B-O-B. Were I to make another it would be copied from Derek's beautiful design, but with garters.

Thanks for the idea. By the time you posted, I had already bought and installed the springs (didn’t realize there was a McMaster Carr minutes from where I work, so I was able to skip the shipping)
But if I run in to problems or worn out springs down the road, I’ll give this a thought.
