Restoring the spring supports can be done fairly cheaply and with good results. Mine looked like they were the originals:

Seems like someone got stuck into them with a hacksaw and tried some rubber filler on top to cover it up, but thats worn away now and they were left a bit soft and worse for wear
.
To restore them I bought a glue from Bunnings called urethane bond, by Selleys, which is ideal for this sort of job. Also in bunnings they have 2.5-3mm thick rubber (you may have to ask, they didn't have it on the shelf when I asked). I simply cut it to size and glued it to the supports using the bond glue. Now they look a million times better:





That's liquid nails I used on the underneath, it looks to be worn away and I didn't want metal rubbing on metal too much.

Hey ratb10,

I like the restoring spring supports tip!


And yeah, at the moment the editor's very basic. Until I can get it to behave, what I've been doing is:

• Click on the "Insert/edit image" button
  
• Enter the Image URL of the thumbnail image from photobucket etc and click "Insert"
  
• Click on the newly inserted image to select it
  
• Click on the "Insert/edit link" button
  
• Enter the Link URL of the larger image from photobucket etc and click "Insert"
  
• Voila! thumbnail images
