Thanks for the idea, hara, but the ones in NeoMoses' kit turned out to work just fine.
Doing it by the numbers, I was able to take the springs to nearly full compression (by hand-tightening, anyway), with a resulting lbf of just over 60.
I could break out the pliers at this point, but the springs do look very compressed, and I don't want to make a washer out of them and have an exponential force effect.

Besides, my MB is starting to warp.

Thanks for everyone's advice. Off to measure and cut tubing!
