Servo saver for vintage F1 chassis.

Just started assembling my 58011 Ferrari today and discovered that one of the bags had a tiny hole in it which caused the rubber bands to turn into goo and the servo saver spring to become corroded. I'm pretty sure that replacing the rubber bands is well within my capability but I can't find a reference for the servo saver.

Does anyone know the part number for the whole assembly (I may get lucky and find one on ebay) or if the spring was common to other models? It didn't snap when I fitted it to the saver assembly, but it looks pretty awful and the rest of the kit is pristine.

The spring is beyond saving with sandpaper or dunking in Cola so any help appreciated. Thanks!

The servo saver used on this model is same as the rough rider / sand scorcher, all be it with a different post, however the spring / wire circle is the same. My crystal ball has a quick internet search in your near future. Then have an iron brew / tennants for me.

You do realize that if you're assembling a kit that old, we demand to see photos, right?

Thanks for the info OTC - really appreciate that. The Sand Scorcher circlip was a piece of cake to find and order. Pics in due course - still got a couple of coats to spray onto the body...
