Hi All,
Wasn't quiet sure where to post this. I purchased a 12 fpe vortex spring kit for my Diana 34 without thinking it through. So to continue I need a spring compressor. Any ideas for a diy compressor? Or should I just purchase one. I'm really green at a lot of this stuff. So if you say just take it to a real Pro I would honor that too.
Thanks,
Steve

The GTA Library has instructions on building one. Also use the search box above and put in quotes "spring compressor". There have been several posted here before by members.
Good luck and happy tuning!!!

A friendly reminder.. please don't take short cuts on building one... bad things happen quickly.

Thanks guys!!
Thanks for the pic too Jeff, looks effective yet simple to build. Simple is good in my world. I'll be heeding your advice Avator, I have only about a half of life left after all the stupid stuff I've done and somehow survived.
BTW, the knowledge and experience here at Gateway is just amazing. I'm new to a lot of this and everyone has been very generous sharing that knowledge and experience.
Again, many thanks!
