Look at the pics in the first post of this thread:
https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthre...d+pics+project

They may be a little light. They still look the same today, seven years later. I believe I covered the procedure I used in another thread. I will hunt it up if you want.

After my springs were media blasted,I coated gem with a graphite spray, then assembled.
I will see if I took photos.

I set out some of the procedure I used starting in post #55, on that thread, I believe.

Also, found the other thread on the technique I used for the springs.

Hope that helps.
