camaroman Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I had to go to the hardware today to get the stuff to fix a leaking faucet. When I got the repair kit for my Peerless/Delta faucet I noticed that they still put both types of springs in the pak. All of the new faucets use the short tapered springs where the old(and I mean really old) style uses a straight coil spring that looks to just about perfect for 1/25 cars and trucks. If you know a plumber, they may have several pair of these springs you could whine for. But the whole repair kit was only $1.59 PS the best part is they are made of Stainless Steel so they will look good for a long time to come.

bobss396 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hardware stores (if you can still find one) carry spring assortments that they'll let you paw through. And they're cheap too. You can sometimes get a longer one and make 2 out of it. Also look at ball point pens, many have perfect model car springs in them.
