Press is now finished. Did small additions and got better springs 228 mm long, 45 mm outside and 5.26 mm wire. They were hardest that I could find and work acceptably well for this, maybe 20 mm of jack travel is still unreturned but it really doesn't matter that much.
Pins are made from M24 rod with matching washers welded in. I tested construction of the press, it can comfortably take as much load as this 20 ton bottle jack can give.
