These two flat springs were used for securing some equipment inside Otter. Both originals had suffered from rust. New ones were made up from spring steel. I had to anneal the steel so it could be bent. Holes were punched out using my hydraulic punch press. Next up will be tempering the metal so that it becomes spring steel again.
