This is getting interesting. This spring is quite different to mine, and I can now understand why the instructions on how to fit the spring in our blog, citing the difficulty, did not apply to me as it seemed straightforward as it slotted in the housing easily. Perhaps my spring was the wrong one for the Silk? The issue I have always had is that the kickstart was always too floppy and attempts to tighten the spring had no impact.

Can we have a second opinion on which is the correct design? If we get some made it needs to be right!

Sorry to be dumb, but what is a NOS spring?

What is the depth of the spring?

My Silk is number 46, and has the earlier kickstart shaft.
