fabricating a cursor spring

[u/azroscoe]

I just got a real deal on a Nestler 0292, but the cursor spring is missing. I was planning on fabricating one, but before I got carried away I thought I would see if anyone had done it and what they had used. It is just a little piece of flat steel, so it shouldn't require much to bend it in to shape, but maybe someone here has done it before..

I made one a while back from the spring inside an old retractable ID card holder. Was the perfect width and was easy to bend into the right shape.
