Hello

I'm actually re building a Laser 200 but this is a pretty general question and i thought i'd get more answers here.

The aircraft used to be fitted with a leaf spring set up tailgear.

I like the look of the Haigh Tailwheel, but where can i get the rod spring from?

or can i make one. The Ones seen on Lasers and other monoplanes seem to have a bend in them.

i have two holes in the tail to potentially clamp the tube, but have seen others weld in a tube to the tail that the rod slots into.

Any information or details greatly appreciated.
