[Tiago Ferreira]

 

This video show the different methods i use upgrading my 12" dobsonian reflector newtonian GSO springs, what you should looking for when you decide to upgrade them and the final springs i choose because of their quality and excellent job holding the primary mirror cell and collimation. Spot on with these stiffer springs. Cheers!

The best springs I’ve used were engine valve springs. Big in diameter and very powerful.
