John,
the springs being different is the norm, it allows a progressive advance in
that the weaker spring allows a quicker, partial advance at a lower RPM.
Then as the RPM's increase it overcomes the stronger spring for more
advance. The shaft/weight/spring assy might still be available from TRF,
but you have to know the exact part number of the shaft. Last time I
looked these were still available for some models of the GT6, and I have
ordered them in the past for the GT-
