Double-Clutch Torsion Springs

Post by ddoan »

In tearing apart the double-clutch assembly for my '59 Dexta, I discovered that one of the three release lever torsion springs was broken. Here is what a good spring looks like:

As a result of the broken spring, the release lever has no downward pressure on it, causing the lever to stick upwards:

I contacted Agriline, which sells the entire clutch assembly, but not the torsion springs alone. This seems odd to me, since the assemblies they sell have to be put together by someone with access to those springs.

Does anyone have any idea as to where I might find torsion springs for the double clutch assembly?

Thanks for your help.
