Got one of these with the Salter spring weigh head ( the type where you "flick" a lever to transfer the weight of the lamb to the weigher to get a reading). has anyone bought a cheap "Crane" digital weigh head from the likes of Amazon and done a successful conversion job?. My crate is in good order but I get sick of the swinging needle!!

I used the same type of crate scale that @ Bowland Bob uses as above for years on my crate. In my opinion it is a worthwhile investment. I have had it for 10 years. I change the two AA batteries once per year. Compare to my NST certified scale, the crane scale is about 1/4 lb. off on the low side. It beats the heck out of the original spring loaded dial head.

Have you got plenty of oil in your damper ?
I wondered about fitting a gas strut to reduce lamb bounce but haven't got around to it.

Will it have weight stabilisation? Jumpy lambs don't give good readings on digital either
@Moors Lad contact Adam @Allied Weighing he'll sort you out with a very simple cost effective fix for your crate
No expense spared here! Should be on the bodge thread! I did wrap some insulation tape where the scale connects to the crate to try and cushion for those jumpy lambs!Looks like you spent a lot on bracketry!! Like it
