Question.....20220120_095814.jpg what is the name of this spring. I was taking off my magplate (carefully) and broke it. And now I can't find one. F.y.i. both end have the same curved end

Awesome. Yeah I found a ton of them now. Any videos out there on installing it correctly?

The ends are similar but not exactly the same.----The end that is NOT broken goes on the tower shaft.---Open end would face you.-----Not hard to figure out the installation I think.
