[R-390] Wanted: Detent Spring

[Fred Moore]

Paul, 

I have available one of the disks with the three detents, together with a
beautifully machined clamp, if you need either. 

Hindsight, of course, but if one of us should encounter that, it might be
possible to slide the disk to the front or rear, to begin a new wear spot on
the spring.

Is it normal for this detent spring to have a “groove” in it where it sits
over the gear? Or is that just from decades of wear?
