kmitchl Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 The one I use is very similar to the second prototype. The sliding sleeve is made from 1" aluminum round stock and has a delrin insert. the delrin insert reduces the friction between the SS rod and aluminum. Also the 1" aluminum slider had two flats cut to fit in a vise. I clamp the slider in a vise with the spring on top and the fish scale below. I use a caliper set to the required compressed length to measure the compression. The fish scale has a sliding marker so I don't have to look at the caliper and the fish scale concurrently to get a reading. The fish scale can be replaced by a weight bucket that you add weight until the compressed length is reached then use a postage scale to weigh the total.
