Hal,

We have also found the spring on the flap handle to be inadequate.
However, drilling a new hole in the mounting bracket to put another quarter
turn on the spring and to eliminate it from rubbing on the drum has worked
for us. Drill the hole about an inch below the original one and slightly
inboard to clear the drum. Also, bend a little hook in the end of the
spring to prevent its escape from the hole.
