Due to Ian not having springs available anymore, and me only having a couple left...

I sent a sample to a spring company and had a order filled..

I had to order a large lot, so I have extra for sale..

Thought I would see if anyone is in need, 5 for 20 bucks is what I would sell for..

Thanks

I would love some, do you take Paypal? I'm in Texas, 77845 for the shipping. How are they holding up in comparison to Ian's?

Original is on the left...



Paypal is fine, gift preferably..

Can't say as to life compared to Ian's, but sample was sent to a spring company and they matched specs..

Edited- Shipping not included

Sorry for the crappy pic..

I got mine in over the weekend. All of my stock springs are still good, but I only had two spares left. Now I'm no longer worried! Cheers!

I think you mean .050" fifty thousandths of an inch, not .0005", 5 ten-thousandths of an inch.

Hi, do you recall the full specs for these springs? The load, sizes, rate, dimensions, etc.?

These springs still available? I need some. By the way, how the heck do you stretch the springs to get them back to the posts? Geesh

Fakum, no idea on the availability of the springs... But to install new ones you need to take the stick and gimbals out of the base, then reattach the stick to the removed gimbals. Use that for leverage and stretch the springs into place that way.

I am now desperate for springs, and having no luck ordering from the supplier in Australia I was advised to try. Help, someone. I have two springs left.

You may be able to buy springs from debolestis at the Eagle Dynamics forums. See his post about 3D printed gimbal parts and springs here:
