rudder return springs

I recently broke a rudder return spring (the ones that are in the cockpit, outboard of the two outboard rudder pedals). Does anyone have a source for these springs? So far I haven't found anything comparable at local hardware stores. The spring is roughly 3" long and about an inch or so in diameter.

Chris,
Found mine at local hardware store and is very similar to what was there. Works fine.
Maybe try another store or something. They are very cheap, if you don't find any, let me know, maybe I can help you by shipping you a pair. I changed both when mine broke to make sure I had same force on both sides. :wink:

Thanks Alain.

I know it's been a while since I first posted and you first replied, but is it still possible to take you up on your offer? I've tried everything and I can't find anything remotely similar to the ones on the plane.

For clarity, my springs are 2 inches long (not counting the end loops), 1 1/8 inches in diameter, and have 20 coils.

If the offer is still valid, I'd be in your debt if you'd mail me a couple.

thanks again, Alain.
