Spring steel wire
jimgiblett - 4/7/06 at 10:39 AM

I want to make some anti rattle springs for my Outlaw calipers. Does anyone know where I can source some steel spring wire to make these up. I would guess 0.5mm or simalar would do the job.

TIA

Try a good Radio Control Model Shop

They normally stock this for wire undercaraiges etc

A piano tuner or repairer will have loads of various sizes.

Cheers,

These guys.
They sell the wire, you bend it and then stick it in the oven. Dead simple.
