Does anybody have a piece of heatsink tube lying around that would fit my S410 hammer spring? I'm willing to send a couple of quid, I just can't find any packs for less than silly money.

Hi Brooksy
I have some in my fly fishing box. I can send you a lenght if you want, but it cant be till the weekend if thats any good. I got it from a tackle shop. It didnt cost a great deal. Dont know if you have checked the tackle shops in your area.
PM me you postal address and i will send some if required.

off the top of my head i think its 3 mill internal diameter tube. Others may know exactly?
If you have the spring out take it along and measure it against the tube.
Dont know if you have used shrink tube before but it does shrink down a lot when placed in very hot water.

You push it onto the spring, so it follows all of the coils effectively plastic coating it like an electrical wire, it dampens down the twang when you fire.
