I could have sworn I saw billet torsion spring holders for sale somewhere but for the life of me I can't find them now.Is there a company making these? There must be a better alternative to the stock plastic ones.

you mean the loop that the spring slides through or the block that adjusts tension. Lots of people make the adjusters (barn of parts for one). The loops, even if made from billet, would require some kind of plastic or lower friction surface to slide through or you would risk binding.

Lencco used to make them but I think they're discontinued. Maybe some old stock around?I could have sworn I saw billet torsion spring holders for sale somewhere but for the life of me I can't find them now.Is there a company making these?

What's wrong with the plastic ones? I've never had one break ever.

I've seen the billet adjusters but it is actually the loop that holds the long end that I was referring to.Mine aren't broke it's just the sloppy fit onto the steel mount I'd like to see tightened up.I even went and picked up new ones and they aren't even tight on the mount.I ended up cutting a piece of aerosol can up and shimming the slack out.Now the loop sits nice and square where it was kinked sideways before.

Not if you use a six sided socket they don't. Old two-stroke Cat spark plug sockets from the old tool kit works perfectly.
