Hi to all,
Putting valves springs back on, I'm wondering if I'm going to need a third or more hand?
Should I put both springs in the same time? Or will it be OK one by one?

What's the trick to put them back on without throwing parts all over the shed?

You can put them in one at a time. Cammy Nortons have run with one broken. Remember the race riders in the 30's used to carry spare springs, wired closed, so they could push one in by hand at the roadside and snip the wire. Some owners still carry them, wired onto the front downtube of their Single's frame (for the look?). Valve spring wire has improved since then.
