Happy New Year to all forum members,

Greetings Jeff, thank you for your participation and Happy New Year back to you as well!
Would you be kind enough to check the the 2 entries I've highlighted to be sure there is a "lip" (flange) existing on the ends of the mandrel, which is facing their spring motor? I apologize for the wording of the question, I may have caused some confusion through the way I've phrased the question.
Much obliged,
Fran
