Turtle... <br /> <br />The springs should already be in place on the coupler. If not, try threading the spring onto some sewing thread and tying a big loop. Keep the loop around one finger as you put the spring onto the coupler. That way, if (or when!) it flies away, it doesn't go too far. Cut and remove the thread after successful installation. You may also cement one end of the spring in place so it doesn't pop off. Just be sure to use a TINY bit of super glue (or whatever). Put it on with the tip of a pin, and only on one end of the spring. Try not to use too much, because that will mess up the spring. <br /> <br />As for the spacers - are you talking about the centering springs? Again, you can try the thread trick to prevent fly-aways. <br /> <br />There are a number of magifying lights, visors, and stands available. They range from inexpensive to $$$$$! The quality range is the same. For me, the Canadian Tire or Home depot magnifying light is pretty good. Relatively inexpensive, but still reasonable quality. <br /> <br />Andrew <br />
