Hello,

Trying to obtain some springs without success.
I have tried McMaster-Carr but they do not have the required type.

Anyone know where I could look.

First spring must be rectangular section wire.
Inside diameter 1 inch.
Wire to be 0.043 inch by 0.05 (or larger)
The 0.043 dimension to run the same direction as the spring.
12.7 (approx) turns per inch.
Spring Constant not important, compression spring

Next spring needs to be one foot long(approx).
Approx 2.7 turns per inch.
Spring constant about 0.337 pound per inch
This spring is a compression spring.

Cheers for any help.

Jack
