Ah! But will this work if you've installed the tension spring? I
confess my spit still goes without because the spring is so difficult
to compress. I may have created a problem for myself in that I've
replaced the original backing board with tempered hardboard.
It's pretty stiff. Do other spit owners manage to get the spring,
spacer and handle all back together without gouging things up?
Cheers!
