This guy sells a ton of 'em.

Thanks,

Aaron,

These appear to be white alloy springs and are probably as good as those sold by S. LaRose. Most likely they are the same ones.

I just put a white alloy spring, from S. LaRose, in an 18s this week. It was well made and fit quite well. However, I remember reading about some problems with these newer white alloy springs breaking during installation.

S. LaRose sells them for $3.50 each but they may have a minimum dollar order.
