Thank you Orchorsol,
I think I may have to attempt to make one /two in brass.
I guess that it should work as the replacements for EMG boxes offered on ebay?
It appears that Meltrope made very similar boxes using the same basic casting and springs for Dulcetto at least.
Did your friend pass any photos of the No 2 spring conversion. I would be interested to see the results.

Brass is really not a good choice for springs, it doesn’t have too much in the way of springy properties and even when at it's hardest state really won’t do as good of a job as spring steel as spring steel won't deform and always returns to its original place which is very important in any form of spring, brass won't necessarily do this, it’s really got to be tempered steel (spring steel), someone is selling brass “springs” advertised for EMG, I would never put them on any of my sound boxes though
