Pretty much got it together. I ordered the little rod tensioner device from Mudhole, but need to get some springs for the yension on the thread spools. Looked at the local Lowes in the hardware section and didn't find anything. I have a fender washer outside of a nylon washer (nylon washer against the spool of thread) on both sides, but pulling thread out the wing nut still backs of too much, I.e. no tension on spool. Any suggestions???
