Where the valve mounts the the hull, on my example I noted a bracket which I took to be for a spring ? Does anyone have information on how that spring was fitted ?

Jacques : 1/8 NPT fittings work fantastic ! Thanks . Richard : Are you talking about the spring that helps the selector valve open and close with the very long actuating arm ?

I can't think what a spring would do? Wouldn't it bias the action one way or the other? Ron

Does it compensate for the weight of parts of the linkage?

As we know, the MK2 change over valve is operated from the driving compartment. There is no spring shown in the illustration or listed in the parts list. Ron

Ron my friend , my sources say there was a revision and that the spring was added later . That would explain it . My Carrier has said bracket for the spring . It connects to the actuation arm . Cheers . Robert
