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?

There is a fellow at Woodford ( if you are around Sydney) who fixes big
old clocks and may well have a piece of clock spring lying around.
I will send email private

Half inch is not uncommon in old clocks but 1/16 seems pretty thick. You
bay be better with a bit of hacksaw blade as someone else has suggested.
