Do you use a heavy spring such as a brake spring. Sounds like a good idea i may try.

Yup, something like a brake spring. I am a bit of a horder so there is a tin of springs in the workshop. I just selected one that I thought would be about right. The tension can be set when you tie it to the muffler by playing with the length of the wire.
