Spring missing!

[KC9KAS 4,741]

My 875 is missing the small spring that is attached to the cam/neutral plate. 

The part number is 1230 and NLA.

Anyone have one or know the dimensions of the spring?

Thank you!

If no one chimes in here, I can dig out my 876 tomorrow and see if I can figure that out for you.  I do have to dig it out to look.

I'm missing the same spring for my 'no name' 16 automatic, so I'll be interested in any info.

This is spring # 1230.   Take the measurements to a hardware store and match it.

There is another solution....mount a return spring on the OUTSIDE of the hoodstand...  like this on my C-160 Auto..  Very easy to do, and to change out if / when it breaks.

Great idea Dave... getting that little spring hooked up inside requires a lot of very salty language....

• Did the same thing on my C-160. No salty words needed!

Thanks for all of the measurements and advise.  Now I can go through my misc. spring collection to see what might fit.
