Looking for Simplex shifter springs
Hi All..
I have a set of Simplex SLJ downtube shifters..the Mavic version, with a broken tension spring in the right lever. Does anyone know of any sources for the springs?
I read somewhere that the springs are wound specifically for each side..right side are counter-clockwise and left side clockwise. I tried the usual source (EBAY) but only found complete levers. My shifters are in nice shape so I'm hoping that I can buy the springs instead of having to gut a perfectly good shifter. Any advice would be greatly appreciated...Thanks

I'm always astounded at what is in stock there.
"Got any 'con-sfere' BB cups?"
"Sure - what threading?"
