EK-Velocity RGB CPU Waterblock Nickel/Plexi (Springs)

[Nebulous]

Just snagged this one from flebay at a nice discount. However it's missing one of the tension springs and I can't find replacements. Me thinks I might have other springs from other waterblocks that might work, but that would be a last resort. I can also use the springs from my current block, maybe? Yeah I'll be using all 4 to have equal pressure. Should be fine no?

Can't get replacements from EK site, already tried/checked. No-go, eol and oos.

Any other suggestions?

Maybe see if you can get a set of springs from a hardware store. They might not be correct, but they'll all be equally incorrect. Ace calls the D Compression Springs.

Yeah some time ago I went to an Ace store trying to get replacement springs for a swiftech block, but they didn't have anything that small.

*Update* Just found a complete mounting kit including springs on flebay

Grainger has a wide variety of springs online.

I haven't looked through their catalog, but I would assume McMaster-Carr also has a good selection.
