I got my Mark V headstock back together, new bearings and belts... Only thing is I think I have a leftover part... A copper clad spring clip. Anyone know where it goes?
I am attaching a picture...

Retaining clip for the idler sheave.
Not a dire situation.
Keep track of it and attach it the
next time you tear it down.

Look at the bright side.
That clip is a pita to remove.
You will not have to next time!:rolleyes:

The Mark VII did not even use a clip to retain the idler sheave. I find about 10% of them are missing when I disassembly a Mark V headstock. A 5/8" snap ring will work if the clip is missing and someone feels one is needed. The snap ring will be a PITA to remove the next time.
