	I bought a Kamasa 2 1/4 ton trolley jack in the early nineties. Never serviced never abused. Finally a part broke on it Sunday. Found the original parts list and then found Kamasa uk parts phone number. A human answered ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D response - That is old! We have it listed ............ then no sorry mate So to the question does any one know where I can get one of these springs? The pic is of a Sealy jack but the spring position etc is the same. Part number is GE 4844

	think its called a torsion spring, call around your local spring dealer/manufacturer or see if a sealey part will fit? www.ccw-tools.com/search_new_suggest_asn.asp?query=spring&filterCategory_1=Trolley+Jack+Spares&channel=uk&productsPerPage=10&followSearch=9998&verbose=true&format=XML spent so long looking at springs chairchild beat me to it looks like a handle lifting spring, so close enough should not be unsafe

Alll of a sudden 30 mintes has gone. LOL yes I have considered using a different one. Just wandered if someone knew a good spring place! Mine definitely has a larger diameter wire in the spring. Also I need to check the inside circle diameter. Jack is in a lockup so will do the measurements and phone around.

	Its been a year but I found one in Bristol. Attention span of a gnat is my problem. Chance cobnversation in a autoparts. Bloke suggested a garage equipment supplier he knew. Looks identical to the broken one.

	I just got a new spring for my 90's sealy, £4.13 from my local car spares shop, picked it up when i collected a new seal kit for my 50 Yr old bradbury 3 ton jack (gets rebuilt every 10 years or so just in case )
