Thank you for the input, gentlemen. I think it makes sense to have something between the top of the spring and the cross member, just so it's not metal on metal. After all, even though it's not designed to have movement, there must be some slight movement between the spring and the cross member and, therefore, something that allows for movement without the metal on metal would be a good idea. I will give the piece a few days to fully settle and then put in the cotter keys. Thanks, again.
