Lift Peg (Spring) Source?

[EricWilliams]

We actually received our spec spring yesterday. I'm not sure if this was just because we were one of the first to order, pure luck, or a sign that McMaster might have pulled some magic strings and got additional inventory in.

We have not cut our spring to length yet, but did manage to get a piece of 3/4" SCH 40 PVC pipe jammed into one end in such a way that we're going to have to invent a clever way to remove it.

I'm offering to do limited testing with the limited resources we do have, assuming we can restore the spring to it's original un-PVC'ed state.
