Sean,
Nearly every late spit master cyl I've taken apart has had this
problem. The early spit/GT-6/any other TR springs I've taken apart don't
ever seem to be broken.
If my memory is correct, the early ones aren't CAD-2 plated like the later ones.
From Shigley & Mishkey, or whatever your favorite spring/fastener/bearing
engineering textbook is, you'll note that Fatigue life of any given
sample part is decreased around 50% with electrolytic surface plating.
I've always just replaced the later springs with earlier ones.
Do try TRF, Moss, Vicky Brit, Triumph Tune, etc. I imagine one of
them will have it.
If you really can't find the spring by itself, mail me back, and I'll
send you one of the early, unplated ones when I get back to my shop after
finals
are done.
