Yamaha Spring Tension

[Mike Spalding]

Jon,

I'm doing a loop job next week, so I'll be interested in whatever 
answers and advice you get.  As I think about it, I don't see how you 
could get a consistent reading at the flange, because the spring force 
will vary considerably with small changes in flange rotation.  In the 
past I've just tried to get all of the springs coming off the hammer 
butts at the same angle before hooking on the loop.  Don't have a spec 
for the angle, just kind of averaged what was already there.
