Penn 320GTi Eccentric Spring

[Slug]

Hi Alan,

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but .................

One of my favorite old Penn 320GTi's was recently 'smashed' by an 'unstoppable' while fishing offshore.

On pulling it down, I find I have a snapped eccentric spring. Your fantastic rebuild tutorial doesn't quite go into detail on the eccentric lever
setup. Could you offer some advise on how to refit a new eccentric spring please 

PS  Also, I have rebuilt the reel without the spring, and now find I have no anti-reverse lock when the reel is 'in gear'. Is this related to the broken spring, or have I cocked something up when putting the thing back together?

Thanks again for your fantastic site

this one has an eccentric apart and back together.....

also, take a look at the dog spring.  it may not be connected properly.  alan
