New Billet RN Pole to SN Conversion Bracket "Hazard Bracket"

That looks like an aftermarket SN Spring. It should be a RN spring.
This is what it should look like:

Actually, I think that spring is the UMI style or the 615 freeride spring. It looks just like the one I just bought. I got it to fit easily but with very little tension on the pole or no float to the pole. I've got to figure out how to best mount or mod the spring to work with the hazard bracket on my ski.
Yeah, I don't see that working well at all. Wonder how well those work with stock RN setups. You can see in the pics that the leg has already slipped out of the spring hole because it is too short. And I'm not sure what the other end pushes on, but the RN pole has a nice spring receptacle hole in it already.

That's what my crappy paintshop pic is referring to. Your spring is at a funny angle going through the bracket so it pushed out the bottom. I'm going to update the design on future brackets to have that area cut out further so people don't have to bend the spring. The spring pressure is going the other direction, so you shouldn't have trouble with it. But it may make some noise since the spring can't float at all.

The umi style spring works. it doesn't go into the spring hole like the Blowsion one does. It just sort of sits on the pole mount. If I can get it bent properly for more tension it'll be great. It was easy to install and works, just has about the tension right now of a stock hp spring.

though I'll be looking for a rubber cap for the end of the spring to keep from scratching the anodized plating off the bracket. Either that tool dip stuff or maybe the rubber caps they sell for blocking off vacuum ports is what I'm thinking.
Any ideas on how to bend the springs if you don't have access to a bench vise? I don't have myself setup with one of those yet.

I just got my new blowsion spring today and am having a hell of a time putting it on. Do I need to have the spring in receptacle hole on the pole? I can't get the bolt through when its in the receptacle. Should I loosen the bracket to allow for more play until I get the bolt through?

is there any consensus as to which RN spring works best for this bracket? it seems like the blowsion one works well, but are there any others?
I apologize if I haven't gotten back to anyone who has PM'd me about brackets. It's been a crazy summer! I'm pretty much out of the last batch, so I'm going to start another list for anyone who is interested and I'll get them out whenever I can. Thanks for your patience everyone!
