Huret help?
I’ve got an early Huret Success derailleur that could use a new pivot spring. I believe the spring from a Challenger might work too. Haven’t had much luck locating. Anyone have a line on one?
PS yes, I do have a Suntour I could throw in it’s place.

No suggestions, just a picture of a disassembled New Success derailleur:

The Success (not "New Success") and Challenger derailleurs are the essentially same design, but the materials differ. The Success is titanium and aluminum and has a barrel adjuster for cable tension, while the Challenger is steel and aluminum. I suspect the springs should interchange.
