I can't buy a break. I was supposed to have a new master here Thursday. Pelican shipped it Ground instead of Next Day. So I called and ask them to ship one for Next Day AM, Friday morning. They ship it standard Next Day and it gets here friday afternoon (today). I install it and get the pedal cluster re-installed. The clutch was depressed in order to attach the cylinder. When I pull the pedal forward, the return spring snaps in three places!! I didn't pull hard, so I'm confused as to why it would have broken.
After an afternoon of phone calls, I can not find a spring anywhere in North America. It looks like I'll be missing my DE on Wednesday as I wait for one from Germany.
If any one has a lead on the part, 964-423-551-02, I'm in need

Jim,
If you get into a bind, I have a brand new clutch master at home. I arrive home Sunday night, I can ship it out to you Monday. Let me know..

Chris,
Thank you for the offer. That's what I love about this place. What I need is the clutch return spring. The master I have is good and have the first one that was shipped ground arriving on Tuesday.

It's been too long without my ride. I ended up getting the spring from DC Auto. It's the only place in North America I could find on. Thanks for the help guys!!
It arrived about 90 minutes ago. I finished installing it, bleed the system and I've got a nice, smooth clutch again. And I can drive my car.
What a headache the whole process was. But now I've got all my components and I've learned much from the process.
Back in a few hours, I've got some roads that missed me....
