Greetings Kolbers. 

The compression springs that John H. uses are preferred in my opinion for the tail wheel/rudder area.

The Cessna 180 I flew in Central America used compression type springs and never gave any problem.  I am using compression springs on my MKIIIX plane and expect the same good service.  There are compression springs sold for screen doors at ACE hardware.  Spruce also carries them.   With four boys going in and out the screen door the springs on the door suffered a lot of abuse but never broke. 

It is fairly simple to take the spring apart and attach the chain directly to each end of the spring.   The Kolb kit should have oblong attach rings or small  "s" clamps to attach chain to rudder and tail wheel bracket.
