Re: Kiwi scratchbuilt

My heavy duty off the shelf spring compressorwas not man enough for the heavy springs and munted itself after compressing half a dozen! So we turned around and made our own with an aluminium sleeve over a bearing so it turns easily and won't mark the valve head/combustion chamber. Works a treat, nice and simple.
