I have been a bit slack in defining how bits and pieces get screwed to the Y-Car. Things like the cable chain, push-button box, dust collector, etc. There is no one standard, or one right way for these, mostly because they could be so different, dependent on supplier.
Received this message a while ago: "would you please post a picture or drawing of how the z spring should attach to the y car. thanks". For this I have no excuse, since I show part 10 40 386 and I don't show where it fits.......
A drilled hole is needed in the Y-Car:
186
Then the Z-spring anchor is mounted here:
185
The thing to watch is the tension in the spring. On one machine I dispensed with part 10 40 386 altogether and hooked a slightly weaker spring directly through the hole drilled in the Y-Car. On the second machine I also hooked directly through the drilled hole, but I made a "meathook" to extend the spring (a bit of wire with a neat hook on each end). Simply watch the spring tension and use your creativity to anchor the spring. :)
(PS. if your router has a very wide/big body, you might have to swing the spring a bit out of the way (move hole further from center of car))
