Sorry for the repeat question. Didn't understand completely the first replies Am replacing all the hammer springs in a spinet. Have all the new springs inserted into proper holes with tail sticking out the back. Have run .088 drill rod thru coils to keep from crushing and in alignment. Problem is I can't force the tail into the tiny slots where the old springs came from. The slot doesn't seem to be quite bib enough. Have tried pushing them in with a screwdirver blade; lengthwise slips off, crosswise just bends the tail but doesn't pusc tail in slot. Somebody suggested drilling a second hole and threading end into that. Would end go all the way thru so it showed near the coil. If only part way thru how do you tighten/secure it. Have always used the replacement springs with the square brass clip, after removoing old springs, in the past. Seems much easier. But they no longer seem to be available. BIG THANKS for help.
