I got mine from my local ACE Hardware store. Just looked for a larger gage spring of the same dimensions as the springs supplied in the kit. No corrosion; no adjustments and no problem holding altitude and trim at every flight speed for more than 200 hours. Only alteration I made was to thread the aft end of the center rod and place a fabric locking nut on that end to initially adjust the pressure on the spring.
