Had to repair the pantograph on an handmade brass streetcar model for a friend of mine:

The whole contact shoe got lost. A lot of thinking how to do it. At least i found a solution to make it out of only three pieces of brass wires.
Now the search is for very soft helical springs with a pretty small diameter.
