Hi,

Does anybody know where would be a good place to buy a selection of compression springs, all fairly small as in ball point pen sized (typicaly) but various lengths and (strength? power? whatever th ereal term should be?).

Thanks,

Ian

Internet? Or local belt/bearing supplier? I went to my local ABC for mine, but most are larger rather than smaller. I also have a feeling that my wife got me some small sized selection from Li*l, but I may be mistaken.

Maplins? I may have seen selection boxes in my local metal/tool place along with o-rings, washers and split pins. Possibly Draper.

I've used Entex for small valve springs on 4-stroke models and HPC the Gear people do a large range of springs too
