Help identify nainspring

[MJSchoir]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to order my first replacement mainspring for a Wostok 2603 on Cousins UK and I measured the height and thickness and barrel diameter but I am stuck on the bridle type? Hopefully the picture is good enough for someone to confirm if this a standard bridle or T end or something else.

Hi MJ does the barrel and lid each have a slot for a t end to enter?

strangely enough that question came up sometime in the last week or two it's a double brace. also snipped out an image the mainspring catalog not a lot of choices but if you're lucky maybe one of those springs will fit. Another image of mainspring ends so as you can see the T part and the brace to hold it in place.

Hi, I believe there is a slot in the lid and barrel that the bridle should be held with.

I did see someone else asking about another Wostok model and had a read, funny coincidence. I'm trying to put together my first Cousins order but the abbreviations/pictures didn't make a lot of sense to me. I'm assuming then that I need a 4150-DB as that matches my measurements? Thanks a lot for the input guys and, may I ask, where do you find your list of mainspring? I tried looking on ranfft.de (might be spelt wrong) but there was nothing there.

As far as i know cousins pulled their list from generale ressorts catalogs. If you google that there should be a pdf to download from somewhere.

If yours looks like this and measures the same, i think thats a safe bet

the reason why cousins uses mainsprings from generale ressorts is there just about the only people in Switzerland left making mainsprings available generically. Slowly everything in Switzerland is turning into made for specific calibers and then the manufacture probably won't supply us the parts. So basically they're the only people making mainsprings.

oh in the starting section of the catalog they have the abbreviations and attaching that page. I don't want to attach the catalog because it's really a huge PDF and it takes up a lot of message board space. Mark should really figure out a way to put the files someplace else where it's a lot cheaper for hosting that rather than eating up message board space from huge files. Not quite sure where I downloaded the catalog.

then of course if you know that you can do a search like at this link and find the catalog in bits and pieces
