Title: Fluffly Springs?
Post by: Original_Brett on December 31, 2010, 02:29:32 PM
Hey Guys

Were can i get the fluffy strips for the springs :D ?

Also, it won't interfere with the way they bounce (Fur won't snap?) will it?

Thanks :) !!

Brett.

You have to make them but it's a really easy job! All you need is some fur, sticky back velcro and a pair of scissors and you will have yourself some covers. If you can sew ect you could use a zip or the velcro you sew on. Do you have the EXO's or previous PJs?

No worries! Please share a pic when you have made them. I'd be interested to see what you do with them because they are different to the originals in the way that there are the spring fittings to work around.

Hi There,

I too am looking to 'fluff' up my springs.

Is this a fluff too far?

Was thinking about fitting a protective tyre underneath the fluffage.

Do you think both is overkill?

Thanks Neo

Picked it up in Hobbycraft (how rock and roll are my shopping habits!!!)

Was about £6 for each panel. Wasn't with the rest of there material offerings, was tucked away with the velco, knitting wool etc.

They had it is purple, neon orange, tiger print, black and a couple of other styles.

Planning how to approach fitting it to my new EXo pros. Trick is going to be getting past the footplate mount on the spring. Considering taking the springs off, dressing them and then re-installing. What are your thoughts?

Good thought Bb

Was planning to sew the spring protectors rather than use velcro, purely because of the nature of the fluff. Should produce a better finish.

Taking off the spring seems to be less stress than trying yo undo the top to slide over and foot to slide up........if ya get what i mean.

Scratch that. Taking the velcro approach. Tops up, my missus has been able to prove why she is the dominant lifeform in my household. The spring is wider in the middle and therefore a nice profile following cover will not get past the middle.

Now before you say it, i could make a baggier version but my ocd wouldn't handle it. Curse of the juggler!!

Hi All,

Wanted to send a big thanks to my great mum. She has turned my dreams of purple fluffage into reality.

Check out my purple fluffy, velcro removable cool spring covers, made by my mum!!!
