Spring Steel Supplier

Can anyone suggest a source of 10mm x 1mm spring steel, as used in parts CD0111 to CD0115 :?:

It would appear the Pz IV needs just over 6m, so I would guess 6.5m would cover cutting losses :?:

Is it usual to buy this sort of material as plain steel strip and heat treat it once cut to the correct dimensions :?:

Thanks

Adrian

I got mine from (with I think a minimum 10mtr order)
http://www.emmottsprings.co.uk/
Cut and drilled them, then had them heat treated by a local company who I knew very well.

Many thanks Graham.

I'll have a hunt in the Yellow Pages and see if there is anyone local who could heat treat them for me.

Adrian.
