It sounds like you need two springs to PULL the plates together.  I am
looking forward to doing something like this with my "new" Olympus XAx2
twin rig at some point.  Right now it is hacked together with a couple of
office/paper spring clips.

By the way, this can serve as a response to the XAx2 thread which was quite
active just prior to the convention - but at that time I was too busy to
get involved.   I have a web page showing off the new XAx2 in my new,
totally revamped 3dshowcase:

Look forward to what responses you generate Nathan.
