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?


Sorry, Mike. I'm running Agent 4.2 and I'm not sure how to strip out
other newsgroups in a reply. It appears, when I show all of the
fields, that my replies go only to rec.crafts.metalworking. But I
don't know.

Can anyone give me a hint?


4.2 should pop up a warning if you try to reply to a message that is
posted to more then one group. Then if you wish you can edit the
Newsgroups: line in the header at the top of the page where you are
writing the reply.

You can also set parameters to not download messages posted to more
than XXX groups.
