ill see if i can find any the other way round in a minute
need to change that actually - thats from a time where i was spending far, far too much money on there!
I've cleaned up brass using farecla g10 i think it was, then coated it with hycote clear laquer, that was a few years ago and the items are still nice and shiny
If a bike suspension spring wont do it, try belfast spring works, i know they can make leaf springs to spec, may be worth a try

Have had a look around - nothing of the like on ebay. Found this place, they seem to stock them - although only 1/2" drive, an adapter would soon sort that. They are in Australia though.
