Need to tune the suspension on your TD160....? Tired of balancing the table on beer cans while attempting to get the bounce properties just so...? Here's a simple plan for a jig to put up on the work bench....or kitchen table to do your best ever suspension adjust.

Material is 3/4 mdf left over from some TT shelf projects. Method of assembly is "glue and screw". Should have photos of the real thing in a couple of days.
3D geometry created and rendered in Rhino.
Now for the thing I made out in the garage:
Above: Leveling feet thread into 1/4-20 brass threaded inserts. The lock nut will be operated by finger tension only.
Above 2 photos: "action shots"
notes:
I used 3/4 mdf because I had enough remnant material for the project. I could imagine using one specie or another of hardwood for a stronger table. As it turned out, the mdf was easy to cut and sand into shape. The end result is a light but rigid table suitable for the intended purpose but not much more.
Not worrying too much about aesthetics, I chose flat black spray paint as a rudimentary covering. A cleaner view of the design can be seen in the 3D renders at the top of this page. In the actual project, I did not deviate from the 3D plan.
