But I have used a ratchet strap tie down round the middle coils and squeezed the coil up. I also tied a spring up with lashings of rope. Don't use the top and bottom coil - there is a problem in getting the rope out afterwards!! Be ever so careful it doesn't slip when tight. Not a recommended way but it can get you out of a jam.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436397154507_3248"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436397154507_3248"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436397154507_3248"><span> </span></div> <br><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, Sans-Serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> On Thursday, 9 July 2015, 0:02, Dean Swanson via Spridgets <spridgets@autox.team.net> wrote:<br> </font> </div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv3675332407">
