Step 3The Spring Housing (External)
Construct the external housing using the 1/2" x 1" bushing, 1" coupling, 1" x 2" nipple, and 1" x 1/2" bell coupling, as shown in the first picture. Excluding the bell, screw the first three parts together to form the bottom of the housing.
Slide this up the bottom of the rod to enclose the spring, and slide the bell down the top, screwing the bell onto the bottom to complete the spring housing.
Note: this relies on the fact that the spring will not fit through the 1/2" opening on the bottom. Make sure your spring is wide enough, or you will need to use a second washer on the bottom to keep the spring in. Also, make sure your top washer will not fit through the bell.
