DIY donut compressor - theMINIguy - 08-14-2016

Dom asked me to post pics of my home made rubber spring compressing tool so here it is.

200mm of 25x25 square tube
400mm of M14 threaded rod (you'll need 1/2" UNF imperial thread for pre 1976 cars)
2x nuts
3x large washers

Make sure the tubing is cut perfectly square at both ends.
Weld a washer to each end.
Weld one nut to the end of the threaded bar and Bob's your aunty.

Lubricate nut to prevent binding.
