Hi,
Looking for a source for a simple wire form spring to latch 2 boxes together. I can find plenty of places on the web to do custom wire forms, but can't seem to locate any place that sells stock springs. I'm looking for something like this ->
As I suspect you've already figured out, the setup charge to make 100 of these will be outrageous. But it'd be a relatively simple part to make by hand yourself. I made this little die set for an arbor press to bend
1/8" Inconel wire for a batch of furnace baskets into shapes similar to yours, and to pretty tight tolerances.Ned Simmons
Ned,
Thanks for the reply.. Was hoping not to have to make them, but looks like I have to. I'm thinking of moving the retaining screw to the middle and that way I can just wrap the wire once around a piece of round stock and them just put a slight hook bend on each the the legs. Thanks again....
