> I've got the Hart tool for spring bending

Butterfly springs are not bent.  Contrary to what most
haven't realized the leaf of the spring is NOT the spring. 
The spring action comes from the coil only.  That being the
case the only way to regulate these springs is to wind or
unwind the coil by loving the two arms of the spring
together or away from each other.

Once you realize what has to be done the rest is just time
and patience.  They CAN be regulated and very well indeed in
a short order once you have acquired a bit of skill with the
understanding.

Practice, practice is the only way for you to get to Carnage
Hall.
