Looks like it will work Bob, but you could have taken an Acet/Oxy
torch, heated up a spot and bent it 90 degrees to the coils to form a
new "end" on the spring. I've done that and had no problems.

When a garage door spring broke the other day, I fashioned a "fix" for

Does anybody have any experience with this approach and can tell me how
well it's going to work? So far so good, but I'm a little nervous about it.

Thanks,
