Which NOVODIAC spring in an ETA 2824.2?

[giacometti]

Hi there,

I am about repairing an ETA 2824.2 movm. So far I have trouble with the NOVODIAC shock absorber spring .

Cousins offers three different springs, 1.65, 1.45, and 1.25 mm. What is the difference which I have to determine? (Unfortunately the old spring is on its way to the moon)

I don’t know if you have already introduced yourself to this forum. Its one of the things we do before posting.

Here is the technical manual. You order the complete part, which looks to be  24-6 Var

Done.

Well, I can not open the attachment. What should I do?  And which tech manual is mentioned?

Best wishes

Technical manual is for ETA 2824.2 it says that in the link. You need Adobe Acrobat Reader free version.

Thank you for your answer, oldhippy

Yes, changing the complete unit might be the highway to success. For sure, but for further repairs I should look for the tool. With respect to the shipping costs (cousins, UK --> Gemany) I keep on looking around for better conditions for the tool (Horotec).

Wonder if 2824-2 hasn't got Etachoc springs . Or maybe that is the same as Novodiac? Think you could find new springs on cousinsuk.

You're right!

But in view of the shipping costs cousin's offer tears are in my eyes

Are you sure to know Cousins shipping prices? Orders up to £25 or so pays £2.19 shipping to Europe. Big / heavy items pay a little more.

In the next step one of the below delivery methods must be marked with a cross. I.e. GBP 21.41 at minimum.

That is because it's over £25, so tracked shipping is made mandatory as explained above. If items prices allows you can save by splitting the order and select "untracked", which invariably gets there in a week or less.

[giacometti]

Hi

but even if the order is a handful of dollars the shipping is exorbitantly high

May be I made any kind of mistakes in the course of the order?

 

 

[giacometti]

STOP STOP STOP

My mistake!

First to do is to empty the basket so no item is listed.

After that a new order can be established. And thus the shipping is reduced to somewhat of 2 pounds.

So thank you very much for your tips an hints.

I'm in the exact same situation. Did you find out what size to order? Also, it would be interesting to know what radius to measure according to your diagram (r1, r2, or r3). Thanks!

I am in the same boat. Tried to replace the springs without having the proper tool and flying away the first one went. After being mad at myself I returned to try the second one with more restraint and sadly that one went missing aswel. After reading this tread I feel like purchasing a new top/bottom 24-6 would be the best option, if I would have the tools to replace the current ones with new ones (even if I would have the tools I don't know which one to choose as there are multiple sizes). I don't have the tools to perform something like that and after searching the internet I cannot find which size Novodiac springs are required for a 2824-2. Cousins has 1.65, 1.45, and 1.25 mm for sale, although the 1.65 won't be in stock until June 9th. 

Perhaps anyone has any ideas?

Mayby I can bring some light into this quest.
The Original partnumber for this one is 289852 which is ETAs way to say it is equivalent to CS 78004.231
The Novodiac springs at cousine comes labeled as 231,232,240.
So 78004.231 might be = 231 = 1.65 mm. Someone might actually orderd a bunch and can confirm this elaborate theory...

Good idea! I've also noticed that untracked is faster than tracked, at least to my address in Sweden and so far I haven't lost a single order, and I hope it will stay that way.

I bought this tool from CousinsUK. Haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I assume it is the correct one! I'll let you know once I've had a chance to try it.

I check the spring on the other side, that is the type you want.

This is what the tip of the Novodiac shockspring tool for the ETA 2824-2 looks like. The diameter is approx. 1.55 mm (measured with my caliper). CousinsUK.com has it and their item number is N48236.
