Re: Help!

Hmm you'll be fine as long as the body pin is always in place!

Re: Help!

i lost mine ages ago, just get a pen spring and make it fit in there, all it has to do is hold the latch up against the tombstone.

I agree, just use the spring from a pen.

Re: Help!

As long as you don't lose that pin too, you're in good shape, the latch and pin work together as safetys. If one fails the other is in place to prevent problems. I'd do like some other people suggested and put a pen spring.

BTW: Don't feel too bad about losing the spring, it's a pesky little bugger. I've lost a couple of them.

Re: Help!

Car parts stores and hardware stores usually have some kind of generic spring assortment for 3-5 dollars. You can probably find something usuable in one of those. Hope that helps !
