34, I thought about that, but it was going to be just too complicated and fiddly. I also thought about using plain old coil springs, but they looked a little too industrial. I would have bought stainless gas springs, but they were about $75 each! The ones I used were less that $20 each.
Again, I think your solution is slick! Simple - effective - dare I say... elegant.? Wish I had thought of it!
