Advance Mechanism Help Please
#2
Looks about right to me.
As far as I know "The Distributor Doctor" is the only source of new springs.
At the same time you need to check for free movement without excessive play.
Beneath the weights is a plate with holes which limit the amount of advance - these are often either worn or the wrong size (there were many, many variants of the DK4) - this can be addressed by welding up and/ or filing.
At the same time check for play in the shaft - new oilite bushes can be obtained from the supplier above.

The Lucas dealer training notes used to be available online and are rather helpful. 
I'll try to attach here if it will allow a pdf.
