Hi All,

I have a spring problem which after trying several different ways, I don't think is possible.

I have a spring with two arms opposed to each other. The longer arm fits up inside a piece of RHS whilst the shorter, lower arm, rests against a piece of channel. What I want to do is raise and lower the ramp and have the long arm of the spring go with it and have the shorter arm stay in position.

The spring, by the way, was constructed using 'coil'.

Best Rgds,

Dave R.
 
Hi All,

Sort of worked it out for visual aspects of the job. Split the spring in half, fixed one part to the RHS and the other part to the channel.

Rgds,

Dave R
