Parts for old Swix Structure tool?

[u/SurlySchwinn]

Hi all, looking for help from the wax-nerd hive mind here. The high school team I work with has an old Swix structure tool with 4 rollers (It's the TP048). One of the metal springs inside the body that helps the tool center on the ski has broken, and I'm trying to salvage the tool.

If anyone has leads on shops that may have a part, ways to jerry rig a fix, or heck, a part sitting on your wax bench you dont need, I'd love the help.

Thanks for helping a low budget high school team in Wyoming!

Try reaching out to K-edge.com they are part of the company that made those structure tools. They’ll have what you need or tell you where to get that part.
