Sounds good Gordon. Still keen.
I would say the best bet thickness wise would be to go for 1.6mm. From my experience most springs seem to snap off and the remaining bit just falls apart. 1.2mm I feel would be too thin and would just snap off after a short period of time.

Cheers,
Garry.

Garry, I was also leaning towards 1.6 even if they are a bit stiff at first. Any other opinions anyone?

I agree with the 1.6 mm. Just as a thought, what sort of extra cost would it be for 100 springs (or 80?).
AS we know, most of the cost is in the set-up and maybe extra's could be sold via ebay.
That way we might get some extra people hooked into the site.

As I said, just a thought.

Oh and I confirm 2 springs please.
Cheers
Russell

Hi All, just a quick update on the springs. The plan is to test fit the first spring off the manufacturing line into a spare hinge to make sure that everything is as it should be. I'll be personallly on site to do this. All springs will be tempered and hardened. I will need to make full payment up front on placing of final order, so please could I seek final confirmation from each of you before I give them the go ahead as it is a significant chunk of cash that I need to outlay. I'm hoping to confirm the final order early next week so need responses pronto.
