I have recently built myself a shop press, I'm looking for a source of
return springs for the hydraulic bottle jack.
Any ideas where to look, free sources would be nice but will settle for a
company that sells them.
Thanks

Garage door springs would be inexpensive and perfect for the job if
you have the length available to mount them, because of the 'caging'
wires on modern springs that will keep the two (or three) pieces of
the newly broken spring restrained on the unit.
I don't care how fast you are, if an uncaged spring breaks and a
chunk heads your way, it's impossible to 'Duck And Cover' fast enough.

Please log in for more thread options Try looking in any junkyard at older American Cars, most have stout
tension springs on the hood hinges. Probably best to pull the hinges
and remove the springs, not the other way around. Failing that go to
McMaster Carr online and have them in two days..
