I have had a look but my concern is I will have the same issue, I used a few types of pliers and tweezers in my attempt to bend the spring but I think that method isn’t ideal, I was thinking it would be best to have a barrel complete but I’m unsure as to the part code and finding the correct one -
Have you looked at other suppliers. I don't know what you tried to bend it with I always used round nosed pliers.

Ohhh, hahaha, yea, I thought you were complaining that I didn't quote you. Well, I'm relieved that you're happy with me and quoting ME! That's truly exciting 😉

Hi Arron, The hairspring looks pritty normal seen from above. May be You don't know how to fix the studd to the cock. See, this kind of studd carrier alows the studd to be placed to a different distance from the stone. So You don't need to pres the studd as much to the stone as it can, but let the spring take it's natural shape an only then tighten the screws of the carrier. Of course, if the radius of the overcoil is wrong, this will not help to make the spring stay as it should, but I doubt that You didn't do the things like as I just described. The stoppng may be caused by different reasons. Yes, it can be pivot/stones problem, and it can be hairspring too. Of course, another possible reasons exist, like balance rubbing on the center wheel... You need to make some checks to see what is wrong. I will advice first to remove all from the plate and leave only the balance assembly with it's cock. Then make free oscillations test in both horizontal positions and see what happens. Then, if the problem still there, remove the hairspring and put the balance only with the cock, then make balance turn and observe how it stops in both positions, if there is difference, and write here.
