So the Mrs was having an issue with the brake on her wheelchair today.

Took it apart to have a look and the spring has failed.

Annoyingly but not surprisingly the wheelchair spares sites only seem to want to sell me a £40 brake.......

And as it's Friday and my brain has failed I can't remember what type of spring this is to search for.

Guessing a packet of springs will be less than £40 lol

Will need spares for the other side so guessing they are handed too.

Thanks

Sort of thing that you'd find on a bike rim brake and could "tweak"?
