Tektronix 6015 probe ground lead thickness of contact? *solved*

[coppercone2]

Never mind, forgot to check ebay under generic terms. The specific part # was driving me nuts


I am missing the ground lead contact. It looks like its a piece of 18AWG wire that is attached to some kind of bent metal piece.

Any help with how thick the metal is, how it should be bent, and what it is made out of would help.

I thought to use a piece of silver plated brass that is bent into like a slight bow kinda like the thing inside of a caliper. It presses up against the ground shield tube that the resistor is inside of. It is the dimensions a plastic keyway. Or is it just supposed to be strait and thick and wedge in there?
