Unhappy Front Spring Compressor

Hi guys from the UK ! Is it possible to purchase one of the J-7592-01 Front Spring Compressor for spring change on my '61 Catalina Convertible or one that will work by slotting it down the middle of the spring ?
The only type available in the United Kingdom are those for European Macpherson strut type and are not suitable for my car(and dangerous too,if I attempted to use them).
Thanks

I've used the same one that TA455HO posted above, here's a good post that helped me with the front springs on my car using the same compressor:

Agreed, Rick.

Matt's (78 Ghost) postings (and pics) on that thread you linked to are a HUGE help!
