I just made some hyraulic cylandars out of old tv antena and I dont know where to get some springs that would be the right size. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

i just saw that one site that tells how to make them but the pen springs i have are too small. any other suggestions?

Try to locate a spring(factory) or workshop...it's pretty easy for those guys to make you a piece of spring with the right dimensions...
check google or perhaps the yellow pages...they made some crazy springs for me and didn't cost me a lot.

what i did one time is take a drill bit the size of your antenna and wrap paper clip or welding wire aroud it. to me welding wire was alot easier to work with but both are easy to use and cheap.

thanks for the tips, i just used some thin guage wire that my dad had and wrapped it around a thin dial, the sping looks soo tight on my cylandars, and they actually work.
