    Hardening and tempering Acvoke cocking leaf spring

    Hi,
    I have been trying to make replacement springs for a friend's Acvoke. Annealed a clock spring and have tried to fabricate a couple using an original from my pistol as a template.
    Not sure if they will be precise enough. The only way to find out is if I can get them hardened and then tempered to spring characteristics.
    Anyone know any engineering workshops that could do this for a small item like this?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Steve

    I will be happy to do these for you (for free of course) if you want to trust an amateur. It's not difficult if you have a reasonably accurate temperature controlled furnace.

    Cheers,
    John
