Been here a few days and already it's in pieces. Anyone know if the smith's kit of v-springs available from Brownells under 50 bucks would have a spring of a size and strength to sub for the one illustrated? Or am I going to have to make this hairpin? I believe the broken arm had an anti-friction eye or bulge which most probably originally contacted the top of the opening lever although that arm was contacting the underside top tang when I took it out. The broken piece was not in there so not the first exploratory on this little problem. All advice welcome with the exception of "Should have thought of that before you bought it!" I knew about it and I did think about it and I still bought it.
