Cap box spring.

This would be easier if I had my camera, but I'm going to try anyway.

I recently bought a cast brass "hawkens style" cap box to install in my stock. It came with a flat spring - which is supposed to keep the door closed - but no explanation of how to install it. I have some ideas, but I'd like to get some advise before I start cutting into my stock.

I'm sort of doing this as a evenings project, and there's still lots of filing and fitting to do before I install it in the rifle, but I'd like to know I'm not filing off anything I'm going to need later.

I was wondering if anyone had installed one of these before and could help me out with the basic idea.
