Looks to be a clever way of doing it. However, wouldn't it be a good idea to bevel the portion of the angle iron that goes under the spring eye so that it goes in as far as possible? From the picture, it looks like the angle has a little less "grip" under the eye than it could have. Then again, I've always been a "belt AND suspenders" guy on stuff like this.
