And then the problem of the stud holder and regulator which are on the wrong sides of each other: I am baffled as to how this will have happened? They can't re rotated into place, the regulator pins stop the spring stud from moving past. I don't think I can remove the regulator and/or spring stud without a staking set? -

Just to inform that this is not a shock protection, just end stone fixed in place by the spring. -
I had the privilege to be put on secondment to RR Ansty just outside Coventry to help design and build a power station at the old Fort Dunlop site in Birmingham. The sound of those Trent engines when they fire up is something to behold. -

The hairspring is still salvageable. It looks like the bent place is only on the outer coil. But You will need to remove the balance from the cock in order to evaluate the spring condition. The hairspring itself is not replaceable, it is replaced together with the balance wheel as assembly. -
There are two Rolls Royce sites - one in the town and one just outside. The "B" in engine names such as RB211 stands for Barnoldswick. The town grew up as a mill town. The old cotton mill RR are in was bought by Rover in the late 30s to develop jet engines early in the war with Frank Whittle, and was sold to RR about 1943. It was discreet and out of the way, and as it was always cloudy and p1ssing down, not easy to find and bomb! I know they used to develop fan and turbine blades, and I remember the noise from when they tested engines. I guess partly because of their influence, I graduated in aero engineering, and worked in the aerospace industry my whole life, but never worked for RR.
