I ordered a new pinion return spring from Clausing (in think) and was
glad it was not out of my pocket. Ouch! on the price. Broke a Ben
Franklin real well.
Not knowing anything about yours, brand, size, etc, can't help you.
The inner or outer ends tend break off. Forming a new end on the outer
by
annealing/rebending is easy, not so on the inner.
There tends to be very little extra length to allow reforming.

I've looked all over the net and have come up dry. If anybody on earth
knows
they probably read this newsgroup. Help me Obi Wan Kanobi, you're my only
hope.


Thanks in advance for your time.

Type and brand would be "BigOl'Honkin". There's no maker mark of any kind or
serial number/ID plate anywhere on it. It's currently wired for 3 phase with
a 1HP motor with a reverse but that looks to be a changeout from the
original by a previous owner.

I posted some pics to the dropbox, here's the links:

Thanks again for any help or tips you can offer.
