<VV> Springs was > Fuel pump pressure

[John Howell]

  I had some small springs made of Stainless Steel by a company in 
Pennsylvania.  They do quality work and you don`t have to go to China to 
have springs made !  They are General Wire Spring Co., 1101 Thompson 
Ave., McKees Rocks, PA 15136 http://www.generalwirespring.com   (800) 
245-6200

They made the left and right hand spring that goes in the door handle on 
the UltraVan.  The original spring was made from regular spring steel 
and would rust and break, then the door handle would hang out. They 
reproduced these springs in stainless steel so they will not rust and 
break.  They do precision work.
