I'm pretty sure it was Boatbuilder that did a grand job of making spring seats from plastic chopping boards, they looked the part. Sorry Itchy, as you were.

^^^I see those were made becuse the repair section does not have the spring recess, but mine still has them so the sheet is whats needed becuse the sheet has to flex into the spring recess.
