Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 GT Pro - Replacement saddle spring

[Aramcheck]

I don't suppose anyone knows where I can get a replacement spring for my AZ-EQ6 GT Pro? I accidentally loosened the saddle too much last Friday night when setting up & one of the springs that goes over the bolts fell off & made a run for it... I've searched the garden, but I'm afraid it's gone for good.

The spring is approx:

• 30mm long
• Outside Dia approx 10.5mm
• Inside Dia approx 8.5mm
• Wire approx 1mm
• 11-12 loops

I tried buying some from a well-known retailer, but they are much stiffer so I don't want to risk using it in case it strips the thread on the mount.

Many thanks!

I’ve replaced the main saddle on mine with an ADM one, so the original saddle is spare and unused. I’ll happily dig a spring out and send it to you…

@Captain Scarlet - That's very generous Magnus - I'll send you a message.

Many thanks
