Title: Source for ratchet link spring on CSS-64?
Post by: Witchboard on November 16, 2007, 04:44:42 pm
Well, I've managed to break a spring on my CSS-64.  I was wondering if Ace Hardware might carry something like this?  The problem is, I'm not sure how long the actual spring is.  I don't know if the spring broke at where the hook comes off, or if it broke in the center, etc...  I could always take another out, but thought I would ask here first to see if anybody knew off the top of their head.  Working with spreings is always a PITA.  Thanks.

Aha!  Found the rest of it.  It is much longer.  About 3 inches total not including the hooks.  Still, any sources?  Thanks.

I dropped by Ace Hardware.  They did not have an exact match, but one that was pretty close.  The diameter of the spring is a little larger.  I installed it and it works fine.  For $1.69, I think it's a close enough match.  8)
