As far as the springs go, the factory method is to have the springs attached to the scope. Once the OTA is on the base you pull the springs down and hook them onto the base bolts.

The little tabs eventually wear out from being pulled and . . . SNAP! Busted & Bleeding knuckles!! Not good!

I turned it all upside down by attaching the springs to the base and I lift the tab by resting my thumb on the large black altitude bearing. No busted knuckles and the springs live on the base and don't swing around on the OTA when being carried.
