Springs

[skenzer]

Hey everyone
Where do you guys/gals buy your replacement or upgraded springs from?

I've got a new ELA clone that came with a seriously god awful sissy spring. The only spring I have on hand is one from my Nemesis but it's too big in diameter.

Thanks!

I build my own. Just take a piece of coaxial and strip the copper core out of it, then twist that into whatever size you need

Good idea, I'll give that a try
Thanks

Magnets ?

Magnets ?

I wish, unfortunately this switch won't work with magnets....I don't think at least. I may look into that more though, thanks

I did, for now, end up taking Brant's advice and made a spring out of the copper wire from a coax cable. It went pretty good for a first try. I also tested the voltage drop comparing both springs. I was happy to see that the copper spring reduced drop .1 volts. I compared them several times and received good consistent results. I don't get hung up on voltage drop but it was nice to see that at least I didn't make it worse.
