I want to put a spring under the heel of my inline skate. But
there is only a 1/2 inch clearance, and it needs to be a
heavy-duty spring. Should I consider using a spring steel flat bar
or similar, instead?


Belville washers. You can stack them to any height you wish, and get
them in anything from mere foil to structural thicknesses.

You guys seem to have an interesting conversation going on, but why are you
cross posting it to all of the irrelevant groups? I've stripped
rec.woodworking out of this reply, and would have stripped others but I
don't know from where you are generating this discussion. Please be
considerate and post/reply only to the relevant groups. This whole thread
which was started by "John Doe" was abusive of usenet protocols, so why not
reign it in and keep it within your own area of interest/conversation?
