Default Re: Spring spreader for reversed eyes

The area of the angle iron where it engages the spring eye is ground to about a 60º included angle to get good engagement. There are also two plates under the spring leaf that bolt to the angle iron. Main thing I tried to get in the design is to have all the force right along the axis of the pipe / threaded rod so there's little if any. bending forces.
