Thanks everyone for your help. Rebuilding my Vmax will have to be put on hold for a while because I leave to go back to college tomorrow.

Over the last four years I have had the recoil bottom out three times. Each time I have replaced the recoil spring and this last time I have added extra rope to try and p...
