Thanks!
Justin,
I do not have a video yet, I will get one posted but we ordered the spring 3 of them 36in each from Essentra Components. All of the spring characteristics match the spring provided in the game manual, but it does look stiffer than what you have posted. I will try and recreate what you did tomorrow at our meeting and send you some videos. If you want I can also give you some of this spring and we can compare the ones you have and the ones we do.

I am also really interested in the difference!
