Triumph TR3-Homemade Spring Compressor

Not much happening Triumph wise in the last 2 days. I did however, get out yesterday and purchase the materials required to build my homemade spring compressor (ready rod etc), a new grinding wheel for my angle grinder and a new saw blade for my hacksaw. Total cost around $19.00. Hopefully today I will get out to the garage and fabricate the spring compressor... I still have the spring compressors I borrowed from my neighbor last year-I am going them to use it to do the initial compression and then use the homemade one to hold the spring during reassembly (I have a sense there is going to be some interference issues reassembling using the borrowed units...of course I am going to very careful with the reassembly-there is lots of kinetic energy stored up in a compressed spring...)
