This movement

[Murks]

Have a question is this a kif trior spring on this movement on the right hand side?

Appears so to me.  I made a little tool out of pegwood to remove them.

For your ready reference.

Thanks @Nucejoefor digging up this old pinned topic.  The forum has changed since this was posted, and forum 5 is no longer available. 

I don't know,  do you think this thread could be moved to a more accessible location? Maybe I should check with a moderator.

How do find out what kif trior spring a need if a order a new one does it come in sizes?

FWIW - Bestfit shows Lip using Incabloc. It doesn't show Lip using KIF.

There are probably 200+ different size KIF springs/settings listed in Bestfit.

Honestly, from the photograph posted, I wouldn't say for sure that what is there is a KIF.

I admit that I'm an idiot but I have never seen two different varieties of shock springs used on a single movement. I wonder if during a previous service somebody simply used a spring that fit?

Thank you for the comment what can I do to resolve this I have one more movement similar to this with a varieties of spring just like this one but with a spring missing could a change it to incabloc spring if a wanted to?

I found this on eBay.

Again, FWIW, neither the 23 or 25 series LIP movements here

http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&2&2uswk

show KIF shock springs. In fact the 25 doesn't show any shock springs.

Of course, for the $6 charged by the guy in the eBay link above posted by @HectorLooi you could get what somebody thinks ought to work.

Thank you everyone a find the parts I'm looking for.
