Title: Need help with putting bottle door/spring on V-23 Post by: brasskey on August 06, 2013, 10:57:34 pm I'm just about done restoring my V-23 and I can't figure out how to put the bottle door back onto the top. I took it apart so long ago and I can't find my pictures on the door. Obviously there has to be some torque put on the spring in order for it to spring back shut but I can't figure it out. Can anyone help me?

The hole is offset and would line up perfectly with the small arm. Then bend the long arm around as you drive the pin through.
