I am not having much luck finding an Australian source for primary spring upgrades for my GSO 12" dob. Obviously there is Bob's Knob's and Farpoint but the shipping is ridiculous for something so small and light in weight, and value. I don't need knobs anyway because GSO is now using knobs that are just like Bob's (without the red dot). Bintel is listed as their local agent but just seems to sell the Knobs (according to the website). Where are people getting their spring upgrades?

Pretty sure I got the 'CSC' springs from bunnings. If not, you can easily source them at any good engineering parts store: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=71468

Bunnings springs. Get the firmest compression ones that you can. You probably have to cut them in half with a hacksaw, but they will still work fine.
