Hi People,

My Dad died recently and he had a very old DAM Quick 550 spinning reel
that he loved. So decided to clean it up as a keepsake. Anyway, a tiny
1cm long spring zapped off into thick garden, never to be seen again.

Any hints on where I can source something like this? I used to have a
shed full of adds and ends, but I recently had a major clean out in
preparation for moving house.

I live in Brisbane.

Regards
Doug


Tried a spring out a a pen? one of the push button ones? There are a few
around with quite tightly wound springs.


Regards,

Chris.


That a good idea. I ideally need a stainless steel spring, but I guess that
is not critical as the reel is a keepsake, and probably not used.

I have found one source, but I have to buy a batch of 100 springs.

Stock springs usually have almost every spring off the shelf and will sell
individually. They can make almost anything but it can get a little
expensive. If you need a phone number reply in the group or look in the
yellow pages online. They are one of my suppliers.

Music has many forms, it can be found in nature as well as man made.
Music to my ears is my Tiagra 50W screaming when towing a Wombat from
Pakula.
To mail spam is really hot but please reply to thread so all may benefit (or
laugh at my mistakes)
