Need (2) Sheridan safety retaining springs

spawnsharks · 10-10-2007, 10:31 AM

Okay.... I stripped down my pre2K PGP for a good cleaning and oiling yesterday and as it took longer than expected, I had to leave everything spread out on the table. Well... when I went to put it all together again, the safety retaining spring was missing; the ball bearing was there, but no spring. I think the cats walked across the table and it got stuck to one of their pads... then he probably went into his litter box, and buried his poop, where the spring fell from between his toes. So, rather than dig through the litter box for a tiny spring, I was hoping someone here had two (my PGP2k is missing one too)

Take apart a disposable lighter. If I remember right, the one inside is the right size.

Even easier - clip a tank o-ring so that it sticks just slightly out over the frame when it's all the way in on top of the bearing. It'll work 100% fine.

The lighter spring is perfect... just had to trim it down a bit. Thanks!
