Stainless piano wire?
I know they do stainless bass strings and they sound niiiiiccce...
If you tune it nicely you maybe able to get it to play a tune representing "Open you bastard" with each press.
Did I just burn the solenoid out?

Of course he can, but another option if the switch had failed would be useful would it not?In that case if he tests it and it is ok. £2.00 or so buys him enough piano wire to make a couple of springs. When the first one rusts away in fifteen years or so he can make another.

Ordinary Piano wire from a model aircraft shop does the job, a spray of conformal coating will stop it rusting.Stainless piano wire?

I agree, it was in reply to the comment about the switch not being available anymore, however, on reading back, I think he meant the CPC switch wasn't available anymore

After having an issue with my release button sticking in last year due to ice and the tailgate not shutting, I went out today to load some stuff but resisted the temptation to push it given the conditions as I didn't then want to be then stood outside in -12 trying to free it and leave what I was going to move for another day. Great excuse to have a beer.
