Last shot of the trem installed with springs attached and ready to be strung.
Attachment 538
The oddball spring in the photo was one I had laying around. I had lost the original spring somewhere...but you get the "picture." 
Notice that the string holes are bore'd such that the ball ends of the strings will sit just below the surface of the bottom of the trem block. This means more energy is transfered to the strings due to the longer length inside the block. How does it sound? Louder and tighter with more sustain. I highly recommend replacing your blocks.
