Replacement Collimation Springs

Howdy. Where's a good place in Brisbane/Ipswich (or elsewhere) to get heavy duty springs to replace stock standard collimation springs of a 14" mirror? Alex

Hi,

Mine was a 12" Bintel, and I got some from Bunnings.

Cheers

Thanks for the tip Geoff I had a look and got some! I was surprised that Bunnings carried the sorts of springs I'm interested in. I'll try them tomorrow. Alex

>Edit<

The springs from Bunnings were terrific & made a very significant improvement! Thanks again Geoff. Alex
