Spring - can you get them from a normal DIY store or only online?

[David Delaney]

I am getting closer to completion of the Cody Stabilizer and now I am going on the hunt for springs - I am just wondering if anyone has a list of general store that carry the regular extension springs OR are they only available online?

[Phil Kindred]

Can't help you too much as I got mine from Century Springs online.  But I do know that Home Dept carries Century springs very clearly marked as to load capacity.  Not all places display them in that detail .  Sorry I can't be more help.

Don't know where you're located, but Lowe's Hardware carries Century springs.

I am sort of stuck on which strength of springs to get since I don't have the LCD purchased yet and I don't have the plate for the attachment of the TV - I don't want to buy a set of 4 springs and then have to upgrade because of the extra weight!

[Brett A. Noe]

Wait until you have the rest of your sled items before buying springs. Then you know what weight everything is.

OK, but that does suck.  I want to get a 5 inch monitor I have seen for about 80.00 buck Canadian, the only problem is it is at one of these stores that does not give a refund, no matter what (unless it is broken).  So I can't really test it with different options and batteries and such....Also I need to find a monitor for the 12 V battery (when I get one of those as well!)
