Springs for a Ric bridge pickup

[Dave Vader]

HI, my rickenfaker came with springs that are too short to hold the bridge pickup down far enough. Sadly the ric springs I did have got cut down to fit my Seymour Duncan Humbucker setup, so I don't have any springs wide enough to fit round a Ric pickup screw, or long enough to hold the pup down.
Does anyone know where I can get long, wide springs that will do the job from?

I got round this problem on a 70's Maya Rickenfaker I once had, by just adding a couple of small but deep plastic washers on the screws.

I have a big box of assorted springs from ebay. Send me a pm with the width and lengh dimensions and I'll pop a couple in an envelope for you.

Thanks Al! Pm on the way...

these should do the trick - couple of shorter ones on their way too in case you need a bit more tension.
