The spring would work that way if there was a small bend on the end of it



Yes that is what I am planning on doing making a bend at the end. I just ordered a few dog springs to see if they are long enough.

I just received my set, Tom they look amazing.
The only way the new dog spring would work is the way Mike was showing it. I believe Tom did his homework on this one, it will work to perfection, with no alterations to the plate. The spring need to be a little stiffer that the stock spring though.



Not an easy color to match, but I think I got it


Very nice Tom,


Thank you!

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Looks great Sal, matches well with the plates. Looks easy for the 2nd dog, thanks for the picture. Need to scrounge something for a spring.
Do what you can with that you have where you are

Thanks guys, but Tom deserves all the credit here. Everything he has been offering has been spot on.

Yes Darin, I have a black on blue frame and a silver will go on this one.



The blue torpedo handle will eventually get remade, that was made a while ago and I think it could be a little large.

That's gonna look sweet, Sal! I have the teal plates and going to use a black
frame because I have the black tiburon handle/knob, wish I had a black star too.

Sal, I'm pairing the red knob you sent me with the black 9/0 plates that I should be getting in a few days. Pics coming soon.
