    Default WANTED, Large tension springs 10-15"

    I am looking for a pair of longer, beefy tension springs to assist in retracting my 30ton press ram (it has an internal spring but its way too weak to overcome even seal stiction) If anyone has anything around 10" long and 1/4" or bigger wire diameter id be very interested.

    Cash paid - Ralph

    Hi Ralph,
    Swing past your local demo yard and ask if they have any garage door springs, the old tilt a door type, they may be a bit long but you can cut them to length and re do the end by heating a coil with an oxy and bending it as needed. Garage door fitting places might also be worth an ask.
    Cheers,
    Greg.
