Does anyone have any pedal return springs for sale? They go around the hex shaft and hook on one of the rod pulls on one end, the other goes up against the guitar bottom.
Michael Yal has been out of them for a long time now. Hoping he gets some soon. I need about 5 of them.
Thanks.

I cannot understand specifically what you are asking for without a photo, as there may be a left hand or right hand version of this return spring.
It sounds like you are asking for a torsion spring???
Look at the Century Spring website and you will find your springs. Do you have a micrometer?

If you are handy, these are fairly simple to make out of the correct dia. music wire. Depending on the guitar, a couple of bends in the vise/ needle nose pliers, and wrap it around a shaft to get the number of turns you want on the spring.

This is what I need. Maybe the music wire would work?

Special thank you to Jim Flynn!! GREAT guy!!
I am sorry, I forgot to mention I got some springs from Larry Petree also, both these guys are great to do business with. Contact one of these guys if you need return springs.

Neil, I also need one of those and have noted he's out of stock. I was going to try and make one up with some spring wire at my shop. I'm sure it won't be as pretty, but when I get to that portion of my rebuild, I'll let you know if I'm successful.
