Just had new doors/springs/safety cables imstalled last Summer. The springs are anchored at one end on open-loop eye bolts, and the pulley end uses pulleys that are demountable - the pulley loop is detached from the pulley itself, and re-assembled after the loop is inserted through the spring end. Don't cut off those extra loops on the spring! If you've ever expericed a garage door spring breaking, you'll know what I mean. I was lucky - the broken spring only went through the plaster wall. Think what it could do to your beloved Power Wagon, or your head! Look for the correct pulleys! Dave Maher
