I have an idea and I need to make this piece. The piece is .156 in diameter. The end is going to have to spring open .020 inches and then return to its original diameter when installed. Thats about the same as the width of the slot. I also need to solder a wire to it. I was going to make it from brass but it seems it will crack if i do.
Is there something out there that will act as a spring, be machinable, and take solder.
