@Strummer posted:Resurrecting an oldie here: And speaking of "Auel": I got a pair of these a while back. A previous owner had eliminated the springs and had shoved wood and glue in to hold them together. It was an easy fix, except the only springs I had were Kadee centering springs, so they are really (probably) too "soft"...but they do keep everything in place:
How about Atlas coupler springs. They are pretty stiff as compared to Kadee.
