FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

It seems to be very difficult to bring a new spring in to its right position.There must be a trick I don´t know. I hope that anybody else know how to do.

John, You need to disassemble this. Then, it's a simple task to replace the spring.

The pic shows drivers side but the problem is passengers side. The old spring is gone and I can´t bring the new one in to its right position.
The problem is to get the short end of the spring in to that slot.

John, Is the remote assembly disassembled? If so, you should have little trouble IF you have the correct spring. I just did a pair of there quite recently and it went smooth and quickly.
However, the springs advertised by one of the usual suppliers were incorrect.
I'd suggest placing the spring in the slot first and then placing the shaft sub-assembly in place second. Pry the spring up in to the proper position on the pawl.

Do you mean that some springs where badly fabricated? After trying and trying to put the short end of the spring in to the slot I have been thinking about that.
I have tried many times with the pawl in different positions but it does not work.

John,
At this point I am not certain what advice I may offer. Other than to be certain you have the correct spring. Can you possibly match it to the opposite side?
I don't think the repops were necessarily made poorly. rather, I think they are often sold (application) incorrectly.
replacing these truly is a fairly simple task. the fact you are having so much trouble lends me to believe something is amiss.

Yes, I think I must talk to my dealer and tell him the problem. Thanks for your engagement in this.

My dealer says that the assembly has to be taken apart in order to install the spring like you did Kube 40.
To do that I have to straiten out the four tabs on the backside of the plate.
I am a litle bit warried for those tabs and afraid to brooke them when bending.
I apologize I didn´t understood what you meaned by disassemble but now I do.

Try to get just a couple of the tabs on the rear of the plate straightened out and see if you can get the new spring installed. If the tabs do brake off the cage, holding the spring, can be welded back in place with a few tack welds. Most times you will have good luck. Take a small chisel get it under the tab to start the tab to move then use plyers to straighten.
