Help: AE 420 clutch spring broke, damage to engine

Hello fellow vintage riders,

unfortunately a spring in my clutch broke and did severe damage to the engine. Do you know where I can get (new) springs, clutch shoes and other transmission parts like sprocket wheels. Or do you know how to replace else?

I come from Germany, so a source from Europe would be cool, but USA wouldn’t be a problem too, I don’t want to be fastidious.

Has anyone had the idea to ask the Swedish Military for leftover parts?

Thanks for your help in advance. I’d appreciate it very much.

Greetings
Marc

Jef Bens in Belgium is your man, also make your self a spring guard!

Hey Stormer, thank you for your advice. Now I remember, you‘ve given me Jefs name in my first post. In the meantime I also wrote him.

Hi Marc, Michel Dufayard who is on this forum had some springs made, I had some and they worked perfectly!
I have a military 258 but parts are almost unobtainable unless you are friends with a Swedish army reservist! However the gear box is the same as the 420 or if like mine a prototype, the 360 /390.
Please search for spring guards on this forum and make one, they wont stop your springs braking but they do stop the resulting damage!
