I've found someone to make me a new spring.....is it worth "hot rodding" it to get more power out of it. What I'm talking about is longer, thicker material. With a 20 inch lens, my camera will only just do a 360, a bit more rotation would be good.
 
Also...how do I know if the spring I have, hasn't been shortened in the past? Do I add extra length just to be sure. When it runs down to a stop on the tripod, it takes about 22 half turns to fully wind up.
