In need of a setting spring for a Oris 394 kif

The Oris i bought my mother at Christmas is running okay but the stem was a little loose? Had my suspicion what it could be? Open the case up and the little spring piece fell out? The parts where obsolete at cousinsuk. Anyone out there there that could help out? Is it a Oris 394  movement as i think it's a pin lever movement? Only  7 jewels. 

It works to have the stem like it is but would like it to be perfect :)

Hi Rogart,
I have this Oris call 292 that is a 7 jewel. The setting lever is good despite superficial rust. I am not sure is there is a caliber cross reference for parts, but I bet it might work. If you want to try it, I'll send it out.

According to Jules Borel, the cal 292 is not the same part. Cousins has what you need in stock, but at £16. Jules Borel's price is $12.75 but you need to contact them to confirm.

Ah yes J. Borel! I just placed an order with them, but forgot to check there.

Thanks J 

But i don't think it will work? My looks more like a normal setting lever for a AS or FHF . Haven't taken the watch apart yet as my mother is wearing it anyway? It works and wind but the time is a little tricky to set. Need to pull the crown at the same time as you set the hands.

    • Sorry I'm back again the reason why had   push the jewel out was someone had fitted a wrong one a couldnt get any end  and side shake with the old one ...I'm replacing it.
    • Tah-dah. A mini blow torch to harden it, then quench it and just a lighter held under a brass mainspring barrel that the part sits in to temper, Its important to wipe off any grease from fingerprints with ipa, you might be able to see i missed a bit at the top of the arm. Its a very satisfying process. I now just need to deal with the more difficult repairs, anybody any good at replacing rubbed in jewels ? 🙂
    • No I haven't tried that, I'm just thinking of the most complicated solutions 🤣   Another great idea 👍 All I need to do is hold that little bugger steady while I try and screw it in, without starting to shake, it gets the better of me sometimes but is getting less the more I do 😀  I need to order some bits from Cousins so I decoded to put this to one side until I get a balance screw holder, it may come in useful later on as well. I'm assuming it closes down enough as I don't know the diameter of a balance screw compared to the stud screw, I haven't worked on a movement with balance screws! I'll be getting the cheap one 😆
    • Finally figured out why my hands are so god damn steady. My mum 87 years old , 4 weeks after her stroke and has a macular hole in both eyes, she wiped the floor with me and my lad at a kids stacking chairs toy game. Here she in rehab placing the last chair into position, bloody ' Supergreatgreatgran'  i hope I'm half as fit at her age 🙂
    • Punch a hole in some thin card, push the screw through.  Start the screw and rip the card off
