Sounds cool, I haven't got any proper cities near me. One town near would be great though.

Just had a great idea for taping mine up too! I will take pics after I've done em.

PS DC, your signature needs resizing something bad!

There you go! PS For taping your springs did gaffa work fine? Cos in the modification area they are saying go for hockey tape.

Welcome to the forum :)

You might want to try and make a cover instead of taping like that. It will probably take some battering and although your spring will be ok.. Your tape might look a little worse for wear after a short amount of time.. You can then tape over that but its probs a lot of effort to do that design if if it will get battered. Stripes with electrical tape over gaffa is easy tho but a cover is probably better than that if you can sew :D

Thats what i meant. Gaffer tape for protecting the spring and a cover too make them look cool :D
