If you got real desperate I could post you some as I have a sheet of
16swg CS70 spring steel. Main thing would be what does it cost to post
to Oz. Maybe not much for only a couple of inches.

I need some flat spring steel and wonder where I could find it, maybe
off some old equipment.
Needs to be 1/2 inch wide, 1/16 inch or so thick, and only a couple of
inches long.
That's wider than any clock spring I've seen, and have been trying to
remember if I've seen anything like that, I could scavenge?
Do those "recoil start" lawnmowers have such a spring?
