Well off you go then Peter, I'm sure they're saleable. We would be glad to hear how you get on. I understand the main problem is in the tempering, either the spring stays shut when the load is removed or it snaps on first use.
I see from examining the one I have that the width of the strip varies along its length.
If they were easy to make then they would still be easy to buy.
