Default Used Variocam chain tensioner needed!!

Anyone have a working one or non-working one? Mine is missing an internal spring.

No problem. In case it gets lost in the mail or for posterity here are the dimensions:

wire 0.5mm
height 13mm
OD 5.5mm
Pressure: 500g / cm
Coils: 7-8

In the Queen's numbers it's about a 7/32" by 9/16" spring.
In a pinch it looks like there are handyman's spring assortments that would have an appropriate 7/32" compression spring. We are not in a pinch though.

It should be in the mail today.
-Joel.

Mine is in the mail already, dropped it in the blue box on my way to the office. I'll follow up on your PM in a bit. -J.
