I need to make one spring (small shift lever return sprint) for an auto
restoration project. What would be the best way for me to find/buy a small
piece of oil-tempered steel wire? Any ideas are welcome. I need less than
3
feet. Thanks

I'll second what Tom said. Music wire ("piano wire") makes good springs, and
you won't have to fool around with heat-treating. Besides music stores, you
can buy lengths of it in many diameters at model-airplane hobby shops. I buy
mine at a Pearl Art Center. It's used for various kinds of hobby building.
