I doubt that they will work unless you re-roll them. If you buy a spring cover then you have to fit it on the screw first, then snip the wires, at which point it springs out to whatever extent it can. Tape measure springs "want" to be large and flat. Screw-cover springs "want" to be small and elongated. It would be possible to make a set of rollers to re-train the springs, but it would be quite a lot of work. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master HTML5, CSS3, ASP.NET, MVC, AJAX, Knockout.js, Web API and much more.
