What I use is a cross-lock tweezer used in electrical and jewelry soldering to hold the Kadee box and coupler shank together while I place the spring with a needle & thread. Haven't lost a spring in quite a while. I also seal the box with a soldering iron (hint on this list) as I think the box is made of delrin and had no luck with glues holding; although the current discussion about delrin glues may solve that problem. Really dumb question; other than this being some kind of right of passage, why are these kits and not complete couplers? James Mc. Long Beach, Ca
