The springs look like ones @ the bottom of old tube flashlights?

That's what I said to myself. Ever-ready flashlight springs. And the hoses may have been someones home grown replacement set before they were widely available from CHQ. Just run down to the local parts store, spool off some rubber hose then cut to replacement lengths, marked with tape and swap the check valves and replace.

The springs have a little thicker wire than what you guys described but if nobody has seen them before then it must be an afterthought. I just wonder why somebody would go through all the trouble. As far as the hoses go, they are a bunch better than the reproductions that have been out for years that crack with in 6 months of installation. I would like to know what hose they used so I can use it in the future. These are old but function perfectly and have no issues.
