The general consensus then is to use the top three old springs with a new bottom spring? Then take the 3 new top springs and turn them into a wind chime. :lol:

LOL... NO ... it’s my opinion that the best thing to do is only purchase the bottom main spring, reusing the top springs, and spend that money saved on good BEER! :D

This page was found in the Structural Repair Instructions TM 1-1L-19A-3. Note that the bottom leaf on the L-19 is thicker than that on the C-170. My surplus L-19 main leaf is 0.347” thick in comparison to the published 0.344” thickness.

Does anyone have a copy of this L-19 manual that Bruce could add to the Mx Library?
