I have a rattle coming from the continental kit, and it looks like it's from the release lever which, when the spare is "stowed" is somewhat loose. The parts manual shows a small spring, numbered *1473, and I can feel a small hole in the end of the lever which would accept one. BUT, the part isn't listed in the text section (it's one of those "commonly used" parts), and the diagram doesn't show what it would hook to on the other end. So...anybody know a good replacement, and how to attach it?

ETA: Found the part at Concours...looks like the other end goes on the "hinge" bolt (correct me if I'm wrong, please). 🙂

Thanks!
