The whole spool?

no the caliper

Ok - missing.
A metal ring/spring held in by solid ring/washer screwed in by a screw/bolt through the lowest hole!
It is split on either side of the ratchet. The dimensions on the ring are etched on you backplate.
So 3 items missing the spring - the internal washer/retainer - and knob exactly like the upper one>
best I can say.

Morning Steve.

Hope this helps. I use Autosol to clean alloy reels, nothing too abrasive, apply with a piece of kitchen paper.
