I've noticed a lot of people making their new dog springs leaf spring style. My question is what do u make them of?
/Karl
brass sheet.
I usually buy them from MysticParts.com.

I use these if I run out of the real thing.

I may use one or two every decade. The length of my hair over time can be described as a longitudinal wave pattern with a periodicity of 10-15 years. It's actually reached it's shortest length a few weeks ago. :)
And thanks for the input on the springs. I'll see if I can find some brass sheet.

Made a 349h spring out of a stainless spring steel from an ice fishing flag, Bic lighter springs also make good cut to length coil dog springs .

Brilliant! how do they last?
the 349 has lasted since 2009, but is a little stronger than stock.(kinda loud too) To form I had to bend around a nail pounded halfway in on my workbench. the bic springs look identical to penns except for length they last the same amount of time. I cut those with a micro plier set. sometimes need a hook file on the cut edges.
sorry posted before pics top is a bic spring next to stock 113h bottom is spring steel for 349 or 114 style spring

It reminds me of the ss inserts in a windshield wiper blade. Maybe Richie will let us know. I think the small inserts may work but they may be a little thick.

Been there done that and it's too thick, let's see what Richie has to say.
By the way, got your box today Bob, thanks buddy ;)

I think it's the spring steel from his ice fishing flag.

Ice fishing flag,steel . Just like mandlestams pic. It is thin enough to work.
