BSA Meteor. Mk1 Titan XS mainspring

Breech seal definitely,buffer washer if compressed,bearing washers tend to last forever,as do the leather piston seals.

If the piston moves slowly under its own weight, just give the seal a wipe with a mild solvent and dip it in some vegetable oil.

Another heads up for the protek Spring, though a steel sleeve gets chewed up with the cocking lever.

Picked up a standard spring and breech seal from chambers in the end. Piston washer was recoverable after a bit of a soak. Just need to source some decent lubricant now before rebuild.
Thanks to all contributors on my post. There may be more questions to follow!

I've just removed a worn spring (at half an inch shorter than standard) from a Lightning and which will be perfect for my project Meteor, to replace the three broken bits of spring that fell out when I last looked inside the poor old thing.

I was always under the impression that Meteor, Mercury, SuperSport etc springs were the same, and the very nice chap at Protek suggested as much just last week as I purchased a new one for the Lightning.
