C3 Door Hinge Spring Installation Tool
I have read during a search that you can't install new C3 Door Hinge Springs without a C3 Door Hinge Spring Installation Tool.
Problem is I don't have one, and in New Zealand you can't get things like this over night.
I have seen photos of one and using scaling it looks as though it's about 12" long, 3/8" shank bent about 45 deg at the 2" point.
Can someone who has one measure theirs, and check if these measurements sound about right?

I heated up the tip of a screwdriver and bent it to the needed angles. Very simple and it was an old screw driver anyway. Just a torch and some plyers and a vise will fix you right up.

That's exactly what I need, that's what is so great about this forum, it's like having hundreds of best mates living next door to ask for help.
