Still relevant after 7 years. Thank you Sir. You save my day. As helpful as instructive and using less overkill welded montages shown in so many youtube posts. Your solution is the smartest IMHO. Thank you Jack.

For those who need really small springs, (needed one for my car keys, lost it when changed battery), you can use springs in pens, they are good material and can be rewound to make smaller ones. Worked like a charm, just need a right size steel bar (used my precision screwdriver kit).

God bless you.! I wish you realize how helpful this was to me. I had almost given up on restoring a 103 year old Remington rifle until I came across your post as a last resort. My trigger mechanism is missing the main spring and its not available anywhere. I will have to use a thicker gauge cable but if it works I will post my first ever video to show that it works.. Thanks again, this is what youtube is all about.. Cheers.!

Just wondering if you have and if that has worked well.

When you refer to "piano wire" ...is there any more information about the wire one should look for when shopping at the hardware/home store? Where do you find yours? I've bought misc galvanized wire in the past, but I don't think I've seen "piano wire" specifically... or maybe I haven't seen it because I haven't been looking for it.
