Well, I took a hair tie that girls use, and made it into a slip knot, got it to the right size to hold the whammy bar in place good but have enough flex to let me whammy, once i got it to the right size i cut the hair tie and tied it off so that to slip knot couldnt get any bigger, placed the new smaller hair tie on the guitar where the spring was, and put it back together, whammy bar works great. I was looking for some rubber bands for braces,but couldnt find any so i had to use the hair tie instead, any small rubber band like that will work
