To dcwampler, Not wrong spring. And there is room for changing the spring a bit by adding leaves and increasing the arch a little. Idea being that one should be able to capture the eye of the leaf with that pivoting shackle. I get what you're saying about the springs having some movement in them. I'll add a picture of the springs.
jhaa, Now that just might work. I'm sitting here at my desk at work wishing that I was home to try your advice. I re-installed the way it was before but clearly the PO could have had it wrong. Nothing was damaged. It was just hard to line up the shackle with the eye without being able to pivot. If you are right then I'm really good...at installing things incorrectly! Skip
