Probably would work...if they still enough tension in them.
I bet you could bend them a few inches back in the opposite direction of how the tension is when installed and get the full torsion back out of them.

It will if you anneal them in that position.
Aren't the used ones too worn and not strong enough any more???

they are spring steel - I doubt they could be pushed back to any degree of usefulness. These cars were all essentially the same dimension wise.. I would bet they are really close..

No, you bend them back and hold them there while you go through the annealing process which resets them in the new position.
