Hi Mowerfreak and AVB.
Mowerfreak, the metal posts both slot into the plastic moulded chainsaw casing, and they don�t move at all. The other two components with the holes, slot over the metal posts and they pivot slightly when the Brake Handle is used. The gentleman at the Motorcycle Store, yes, he is a dead set legend, and he was busy with other customers at the same time, so this makes him even a nicer type of person. AVB, thank you for moving the photos, and hopefully I get the right area to load the next photos into this forum.
The spring as you mentioned Mowerfreak, is housed within that plastic moulding. This moulding is closed off at one end, with the end being open which enables the spring to lay in place, and allowing the metal component with the little pointy part to slot into the other end of the spring. The spring is 57mm in length. AVB, I�d tried the Split Joint Plyers, but because the Brake Handle covers most of the area where that spring is to sit, it�s impossible to get to, and also the closed off end of the moulding doesn�t allow for the teeth of the Split Joint Plyers to grip, with a similar situation the other end as the pointy component has to be slotted into the middle of that spring, leaving very little room to grip that spring.
I�ve taken more photos showing partly assembled components which shows where they should sit, getting them to all sit in place correctly is the issue. Again, I appreciate all the assistance that I�ve been given. Regards, Sherrie (looks like I'm having issues again with the loading of the photos, so it's back to the Gallery.....
