Now my work flow was strait forward I measured from both sides the spacing I wanted. When I first started to install the clips I tried to pre drill the holes for my screws, and I broke three bits before I gave that up. At that size there just so small I ended up just drilling in the screws with the pre drill. This worked great for the initial screw I went a head and put in the spring using mini bolt cutters to cut the spring at my predefined tension. There are fore holes in the clip and my original plan was to use three of them and good thing too. When I was screwing in the screws to tighten on the spring some of the screws would break. At first I would take the spring off and try to remove the screw but this was killing me. So I decided to just use the other hole and that did it. No problem, well not much of a problem on a few I still had to take it a part get the broken screws out and redo it.

Dude! I was looking online to find out where I could get replacement springs for a couch that I really like and found your blog. Where did you get your springs and clips? I found some at perfectproductsonline.com at what seems to be a reasonable price. They are on the west coast, though, and I am in Ohio, so shipping is more than I really want to pay. I love your idea of tying the springs to each other for additional support. My couch did not have that originally, but I will definitely be doing that when I put the new springs in.
