Does anyone have an Expanded Picture of a Tilt Steering Column?

[custom10nut]

I put a Tilt column in my truck a few years back. I bought it used, of course.
It came to me partially disassembled, as the shift lever was off to ship it to me.
I bought a new shift lever, because the one it came with was cut down and modified, Badly.
Anyway, when put the new lever in I damaged the detent spring inside at the base.
Another board member sent me another spring, which helped some, but I think it still doesn’t have the spring pressure that it should.
Has anyone ever had this issue?
Is there a source to get this spring that I’m talking about?
Is there a special technique to properly remove and install this spring, without damaging it?
