Hi Russ. the spring came from a $20 window blind from Bunnings - like this http://s.hswstatic.com/gif/how-to-fi...ow-shade-1.jpg. I measured the available torque and it matched well with the mount requirements using the spool and disk sizes that I had available - can win sometimes.

I didn't take any images inside the mount, but it is pretty straightforward to adjust the preload. and it is built like a tank.
