We needed a spring for an old hydraulic valve and we couldn’t find anything from any hydraulic shop. I called Western Spring and talked to Alex and he said bring it In and we will see what we can do. We had a production line down so this was a hot part. Got in and Alex had pulled some comparable springs and we found one that worked. If it wasn’t for Alex and Western Spring we would still be line down. Thanks for all the help and the great customer service, you guys run a great shop.
