cjjoyce1 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 One of the common things I've read in all the threads about these is people complaining about loose bezels - to the point where some have even said theirs just pops off easily almost un-commanded. I had one of these too. I decided to take a chance and get one of the Clark 5513 springs. It was only $11.00 plus a few more in shipping, what the heck. Best thing I've done yet! Not only is my bezel properly tight now, but in order to rotate it easily, I have to push down on it while turning! If you have the same problem, this may be good news for you!

FxrAndy Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I have found light crimping/bending of the original spring helps but the clarks spring solution sounds good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Mine is headed to Jmb for his new tension ring. I saw those Clark's on ebay but thought it probably wouldn't work. Thanks for taking one for the team! I will buy a few of these for future subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjjoyce1 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I have found light crimping/bending of the original spring helps but the clarks spring solution sounds good I tried that too and it helped a bit, but not satisfactorily in my case. I have heard others though, who have had good luck doing that so it's still a good try-it-first option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjjoyce1 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I was asked what the difference between these two springs where. I finally had a chance to mic these out and here is what I found Cartel Spring ID = 31.00mm OD = 34.95mm Thickness = .15mm Clark Spring ID = 31.25mm OD = 35.25mm Thickness = .17mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Where can one find one of these springs? E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickFlorida Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 He go's by "Nostalgia2000 on ebay but say's "Clarks watch parts". So I think that's how you buy Clark's parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
