I've had the same problem, too. My local Ace Hardware store has a wide selection of springs and I was able to find one that works. They have a board with all their springs attached to it, and a number by each one. You bring your old spring in and find one on the board that matchs, then look in the drawer that has the same number as the spring on the display board. This is kind of an old-fashioned type hardware store; I don't know if the bigger chain stores have springs like this or not. Pat Pat Walsh, '71 Westy, walshp@ippdsgi3.nawc-ad-indy.navy.mil
