hello i put together a 8ae senator..the movment doesn't have a spacer,,i have one laying around but compared to a different one its not the same..I dont want to use the wrong spacer and break the balance staff, i have seen that happen(i didn't do it) Anyway i was thinkng about altering the spacer i have that doesn't fit or work...has anyone made or cut anything to work and keep the movement still before? anyway i should go about this...i am pretty sure that i can't be the only one to have this problem...i guess you need a piece to go between the case and the the stem...i think i can use maybe a piece off the wrong spacer,but should go inside the case where it can't be seen,i'd hate to put some ugly piece of cut metal on the old side, the case is practically brand new....Thank you to anyone who can help with advice or their experence....
I've done a couple things, like using a dremel tool to cut a window beside the balance wheel so it can't bind. Best thing is to use the proper movement holder. I've got quite a few a few spares so I could send you a few and hopefully one will work. Consider them in the mail.
