I'm looking to source a pair (or, maybe, 2 pairs if I could find them) of the springs that fit in the advance /retard levers. I have the hollow grub screws and can easily make the pegs with the V notch but I can't find any springs. As I measure them they seem to be 18 swg wire compression springs, 3/16" o/d and 1/2" long. Anybody got a source?

Hi Steve

Tony Griffiths had sets of these made a little while back. He should know of a spring supplier.

Cheers

Spring masters of Redditch made me a batch of 70psi oil pressure relief valve springs a while ago. I remember they were helpful and not expensive.

Yes, Tony had the whole sets made.
I fixed mine by destroying a few free ball point pens until I found the best pair.
