	Automotive feeler gauges make good springs for certain things. Easy to anneal, work with and re-harden. Also many thickness to choose from…👍 Tom Klinger

And, keep it submerged, the spring will float, I set the lead dipper on top. Bob

	I took apart my Ballard 22 as I was sure it had one of the coils springs in it.. Here is a picture of the coil spring in place and a pic of the parts. While reassembling it the little plunger flew away and I could not find it so I made a new one. I drilled the hole all the way through the base piece and made the stem on the plunger longer. It works better and was easier to install with the new plunger.
