Josh,
You might want to check something to see if you really do need a new leaf spring or not.
I recently installed a new mid-frame on my hi-capa and after doing so, the hammer wasn't locking back. This happened on TWO of these frames, but worked fine on my hi-capa.
My presumption was that the sear wasn't connecting - and most likely was caught on something and not moving.
My presumption was correct - I took out the main spring housing and lifted the beavertail safety to see what the issue was. It looks like the top leaf spring that connects with the sear was caught on a moulding line/lip/flash on the sear. Once I filed that lip down, the hammer worked perfectly.
