    Lovely.
    Sorry to say, I don't know the suspension setup, so I'm not sure my heavy
    duty (Professional) double hook type will work.
    You still very welcome to try them if you wish.

    Use enough of them (or tie down ratchet straps) and they're fine. You do
    need big ones though:)

    I guess, if you used enough cable ties, you wouldn't need compressors anyway
    ;o)

    Correct, but I emphasise "big" cable ties.

    Indeedy.

    When I was an apprentice I once saw a mechanic doe coil springs using large
    jubilee clips. I didn't see the end result, mind.

    Common practice in the 60's when I was serving my time as an apprentice
    mechanic. Mind ewe, so was throwing lit fags into trays of petrol used for
    cleaning brakes. None of that allowed these days though.
