After eleven years, the steel wire had deformed enough to pull out of
the nut (smart-a** little voice in my head saying "I told you so"). After
lunch, we flew home no problem - full rich of course, but I'll take that to
the consequences any day!

And that's where the smartness ended-- from redundancy to none at all. Should have got it fixed before you departed. Whart if the spring failed on the way home?
