Thanks all.
Chris - a lucky find on ebay! (I may sell one of them now to fund buying an original Grasshopper, or perhaps swap for a Nippy crankcase and cash?)
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-PIECE-DISTR...SwEYBaZfFB
these are the items that came up when I googled Morris Minor mk2 advance springs. Ian - would some of these things give the early advance required? Indeed, they may, within them, have the charactersitics for the heavy ones too...?
I'm also presuming I should, whatever happens, be able to actuate the full advance manually by moving the rotor arm.. and that from what you have said, coming back to the weights are touching in the middle may not be required?
At present, even if I change one for a lighter spring to do the initial, the other is not going to 'return' that last few mm.
