Click Spring

Larry, Have you looked here: Might find one that does the job but not exactly original.

If you are looking for the exact shape click spring Larry, you just about can forget about finding it unless you find a parts movement with one on.

Most times you either buy one that will do the job that looks slightly different and might need modifying a touch or you make one from scratch like a lot of repairer's do.

Bila, Pretty much what I was thinking.
If it was mine, I'd just buy the closest one I could find to what I need.
You could then file a notch in it to lock into the plate or whatever it takes to make it work.

YOU CAN PURCHASE THE CORRECT SPRING FROM TIME SAVERS IN ARIZONA THEY HAVE A LARGE SELECTION OF CLICK SPRINGS JUST BE SURE THAT IT IS THE CORRECT SPRING BECAUSE THERE ARE LEFTS AND RIGHTS IN THE SELECTION. EDDIE HINES
