Just in case anyone missed this one, i'm still looking for a spring that sits across the top of this Elmo 1200 clutch assy, shown with a blue line.

Hi Tom
You can get away with many universal extension springs that are similar to the original elmo spring.
Most auto parts suppliers carry a selection of these springs. If you trim the hooks to produce good tension in the spring it will be as good as original.
Just find one thats similar in guage & trim to size.
I have replaced a few with no problems.
good luck.
