I am having trouble finding the springs that the print calls out. Both .400 OD x 1.05 long (1) .029 wire 6 turns and (1) .019 wire 7 turns. Can anyone help. Thanks, Kevin
Some options are: WM Berg mechanical components - on line Lee springs, do a search - small parts.com does carry them If those fail, check Model Engine Builder Magazine and give it a go at making your own, not as hard as it looks.. You can buy the spring wire at small parts too.
Often the exact spring cannot be found. I often pick a few standard springs one a little heavier and one a little lighter. I always start with the lighter spring and wish I had only purchased it. Chances are the spring on the plans was not engineered. There was a lot of discussions about spring making in the Old Message Board 002 and 2003 and on the web. David
