If Baz hasn't got one, use a couple of biro springs until you get a proper one.

That spring looks fine.If it works, it's OK. But three nuts, and one of them is a nyloc nut is overkill .

I would advice everyone to go and check their nuts now,just in case they are loose.

Re: oil pump control rod bits missing
What size nylock is needed for the threaded oil pump rod? That sounds like good insurance. Thanks in advance.
