Just an Update:
Well I got down into the shop yesterday. After relieving the end of the catch knob for the torsion spring, I found I had to remove 1 coil off the spring so it would fit. I did that and made a quick fixture to hold the spring for bending the legs. They may not look great but they work. The saddle can now be under stress and the spring still releases the half nuts. I am now looking for a piece for my next project that needs threading to try it out.
