When you buy articles at any store they come with those little plastic encased metal strips of spring steel. They are the things they have to demagnetized (I think) to allow the purchased article past the door detectors (magnetometers?).

In any case, inside the plastic strip is a perfect spring steel strip about a quarter inch wide and an inch long. They make perfect pendulum swing supports for clocks. They are also rigid spring steel.

I was wondering about shaping and filing it to fit, then epoxy it in place after you glue the broken ends back together.

Now that's a great idea. I'm going to have to remember to start saving those things from game/movie cases. I had no idea they put spring steel in them.
