Ray,
Simply repair the spring by replacing it with a new one. I know it is not
quite that simple but it you are handy with spring steel, it is relatively
straightforward to fabricate one. I have repaired three caps so far, (one
TA and two TC)and each spring tab was different, enough so I could not
interchange spare spring units. Perhaps one of these spares will work with
your cap. It's yours for want of an address. Also, do you have any opinions
as to the best source for TA running board strips? The ones I bought 20 yrs
ago seem an inch or two long. I am not sure if they are TC or TA or whether
there is any difference. The TA does have 3 strips while the TC has only
two. Was aluminum original for a TA? Moss, Abingdon, or??. as sources?
