Looks great, Mick....did you chrome or polish the housing frame? That is where I would have put the spring.

Looks great Mick! You should hook that bad boy up to your compressor and fill your tires!  I never really got into air meters but that one makes me want to. Hmm...

Absolutely Beautiful Mick!!!
I believe the spring is designed to prevent the hose from kinking at the stress points (at the chuck end and where it connects to the meter). I have springs at both ends. If you only have one spring then it would be proper to put it where you think the most stress would be. OK, where you think it looks best.

The spring was originally on the end next to the frame not the chuck. I have NOS hoses (1950's) from Eco that way so that's how I make mine.
