I'm rebuilding a Mark II and wondering how to put the spring back in the head stock lock. The old repair manual is not helpful.

This is what the spring looks like...

When you get it figgered out let me know. I been scratchin my noggin(unsuccessfully) for months over this. Not sure how it is supposed to work either!

Both 'questions' need answering. The spring is a recent acquisition(mine did not come with one).

JPG,

I found a picture of how the spring should be in place.

Another picture of the spring.

THANK YOU BROTHER!
