3186 rotor spring clip?

hi guys, does anyone know if the rotor spring clip from a 3186 is the same as a 3135 spring clip. the clip from my 3186 has vanished in a parts storage accident and i can only find spares for a 3135. there are two different sizes apparently .18mm and .16mm for the 3135, any help would be much appreciated, thanks

I'm assuming you mean 3186 if so then yes 3135 spring clip for oscillating weight is the same part, you have three sizes to choose to get the proper end shake on the axle. You got the first two correct.

3135-560-1= 0.18mm
3135-560-2= 0.165mm
3135-560-3= 0.195mm

Hope this helps,
Cheers

I didn't know there's different size clips for this. Are there also different sized clips for other movements? 1030 interest me most.

It seems there is just one for the caliber 1030.

Part number 1030-7016.

Cheers.

The overall size is the same it's the thickness that changes. Rikki

Let us know how it turns out.
If all goes well your axle end shake should be in this range (for best results).01/.03mm.

Good luck,
Cheers
