What size wire is used for the springs for the swag press brake?

You may have more luck finding them than making them the correct size. Blush

Here is the top die.

It is about 30mm too long, I left that to hold it in the 4 jaw.
Also the top flat is only 1.5 mm wide I need to make it 2.5mm or so.

Cut to length - making sure it fits and all held together with "ticky tape" Popcorn

I didn't have any luck finding some compression springs. Slaphead

So I might have to make a couple, if I can find any spring wire.

Well, maybe your not a wuss afterall Dave. The springs are made from .130" wire. Yikes
