Seek Exhauster Bellows Spring
By Andreas Wagner

Dear all, the foot pump on my Steck PEDA developed a squeak a little
while ago.  On a recent rainy day I decided to investigate and so
removed the pump.

It turns out that one of of the V-shaped return springs on the back
of the foot pump has started to crack, about 1 cm below where the two
pieces of metal are riveted together.  I guess I could drill new holes
below the crack and rivet it but that would change the dynamics of the
spring.

I'm not sure whether our local blacksmith is up to replicating the
spring, so I'd like to ask if anybody has any spares I could buy?
The spring is 29 mm at the top end and tapers down to 13 mm.

Thanks so much in advance!
