Hi guy’s! I’m looking for help on buying & fitting a suspension spring on a french mantle clock with a mercury pendulum!

It’s a brocot movement! I’m looking for diagrams on fitting the said suspension! Cheers!

Here you are. You have three that will fit from my experience 27x5mm should be right, you will need to file it out a bit for it to fit, make sure it is free moving and so it doesn’t snag. Number  0299 000115

Many thanks for the reply mate! You mentioned filing something? What will need to be filed mate!

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      By dnhb · Posted

      The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.

      In think you are effectively shortening the coil by shorting out damaged tracks. In my case as long as the continuity was good and the resistance not too greatly affected it should be ok .  One was on an era  movement,
