I'm upgrading a couple of Sunfishes with this main sheet block.

It's going to look like the photo below.
As an experiment, I mounted one on my Laser, using a stand up spring that easily holds the lighter standard Laser block upright. But the spring wasn't stiff enough to hold up the heavier Carbo Rachamatic block seen above.
Any idea of the type/model number of the spring I should order that's stiff enough? I could just order a bunch of them but thought I'd ask here first and save some expense.
There's one spring here...

And here's a few more from Harken...
