A7 Starter motor - hair spring?
#4
Looks fine to me, however before putting it back on, check the relationship between the "at rest" pinion and the retaining clip. Sometimes it can be too loose and the pinion can work back up the bendix. There is no "hair spring" normally the action of starting causes the pinion to return to the at rest position.

The bendix and shaft shouldn't really be covered in oil. It is best left dry or lubricated if necessary with a bit of graphite dust.
