Unfortunately the spring Lex is referring to is not a straightforward
shape. It is hard (for me) to describe the shape but I would not bet a
whole lot on anyone finding this spring at any home center (or auto
center for that matter). A better (but not much better) bet might be to
try to have it made at a place where springs are made but I know of no
such place whre I live. That is why I just got my spring off a junker.
Lex has been unable to find a junker in his area.
