This always struck me as the rebuilder's equivalent of doing a tummy tuck on a pot-bellied pig.

  Was wondering... 
  The installation of these springs as I understand it is such that two beams are used as a support for a piece of something or another that will hold the spring tight against the panel / ribs at some point. What would be the advantage or disadvantage of mounting a stronge enough piece of steel  lengthwise parallel to the beams and attach at the rim and back side of the keybed / case area instead ? 

  Or is this another one of these parcealip trees to bark under ?
