Swapped frip key case, key opening a bit limp....

[Desolation91]

Afternoon all!

Fitted my new key case today and in don't think I've got the spring right. In the original there is a little nick that's not there in the copy... Do I just add that in or is there something I'm missing..

I had similar problems the first time I tried to assemble one of these.
I think I found that 3 complete turns of the spring were the ideal -pre-tensioner needs, then I found the blade locking pin was protruding ever so fractionally from one side (and catching on the plastics), it just needed "tweaking" so it was perfectly flush.

Mine is the same and same case it pees me off i think i need a new one but a better one.

There is no nug missing to hold the spring shall I put one in so I can turn it? Which way to turn?

Si

[Woody]

Well mate, the one I have is a Chinese copy used to convert from a non flip to flip, has a lug on it.

I can't see how it can work without one really, however, it may be that you haven't understood its design properly perhaps ?

If you have, then it either appears to be missing a vital part, or is faulty IMO.

If I were you I would be contacting the seller and asking for a replacement now mate.

Sorted just cut a little nug did 2 turns you know which is the right way cause the wrong way springs it closed! and wow its on viagra now! Blink and you miss it!

Glad you got yourself sorted fella

[Desolation91]

Yeah cheers. Have you glued yours closed? You could try winding yours?

[Woody]

Mine is fine mate. It's the flip key conversion variety so is screwed together rather than glued (you need to take it apart to change the battery). A slightly different design and a fraction larger with no slide off battery cover, but at a quick glance looks 100% original and works very well indeed

Its mine that feeked i need a new one the spring in mine is all twisted so new one needed.

Got a link to the ones you got?
