[Capri25] FW: Spring into action

[John Koss]

Here is a description of the spring interpolated from the photo.

torsion spring
material:  SS302  (best guess)
right hand wind direction
coil outer diameter:  .235 to .288
wire diameter: .025 to .032
number of coils: 2.25
leg length:  .750 to 1.00

This info tends to conform to manufactured industrial spring norms.

Should you continue to have difficulty in locating a replacement I can point you to a source.

Your help is requested finding a spring,

 

The little spring that holds the jaw closed in the spinnaker
pole tip has broken.  The pole is only 29 years old, so I cannot believe
this has already happened.  

 

The pole looks like a Forespar product and I am assuming it
was original with the Capri 25.  It is the kind of pole tip that just
snaps into the mast ring.

 

Does anyone have experience finding/replacing this
spring.  I have attached a picture (thanks Brad). We are now looking at
hobby shops in an effort to find a replacement.

 

John
