tension spring

[nodeward]

i am in need of a few tension springs for my hydrualic press build,to return a 10t bottle jack, had a look on ebay and a quick google search but have not really come up with anything suitable.
just wondered if anyone had an idea of a suitable supplier or another source i.e what might have some thing suitable that i can nick some off?

get some from an old trampaline

The springs from an old washing machine that holds the concrete weights are quite beefy
