Replacement Spring For JR. Gent?

[Band Saw Box]

I was working on a JR. Gent (from timberbits) this morning and I found that I had two sets of components but only one spring. I checked all my other components but could not find it. The spring is approx. 12.02mm long 6.47mm at the wide end and 5.13mm at the narrow end. Does anyone know were I might get a replacement spring. I'll try timberbits but it takes such a long time to get things. I hoping to find someplace in the states.

You might be able to use a Triton spring. Beartooth Woods has them and ships fast. I just compared one from a Triton and Jr Gent. The diameters are about the same, however the Triton is a little shorter at 9mm. You could possibly stretch one or get two and cut one down to make up the length.

Jr. Gent I or II? Some of my Jr. Gent II fountain pen sets came with a spring. If you have any of those sets, check them. Otherwise I have four from completed fountain pens. PM me if you need one.

Just for comparison, here are the springs that I mentioned in the earlier reply. From left to right.....Triton, Jr Gent, Vail (all postable)

\If all you have is one that is to short make a spacer and put in behind the spring, i have used spacers for people that don't want so much flex in the refill when they use the pen....
