Hi all,
I've posted two pics in the files section under the BP Clone CNC Retro
folder. The link is below - I'm not sure if it will work correctly,
however.

These pics show how I mounted the gas springs on either side of the
knee. While they may not be in the most ideal position from a dynamic
balance perspective, they have worked great for over a year. They are
made by Suspa and came from McMaster Carr at ~$15 each. Fitting these,
along with a ballscrew from Rockford Ballscrew made a huge improvement
in performance and reduction of backlash.
Cheers, Peter
