Have just acquired a Centec 2A in quite good condition. However on dismantling the spindle/quill, the return spring is missing.

Does any kind person have the spec for said spring? I have tried one that fits, but it does not seem strong enough to return the quill.

There are three versions of the VH. What version do you have?

[Dave HalfordParticipant @davehalford22513]

Quill?

Can only be a mark3

Doh! It was in the title.

The one in my Mk3 is 4" long uncompressed, has 7 coils of 0.116" wire with an OD of 1.6" and ID of 1.35".

As near as I can make out, a 28lb weight compresses it down to 2".

Is that what you wanted?

That's excellent thank you very much.
