    Grey Ghost return spring

    Anyone know the specs or possibly a place to pick up a ghost pump return spring?

    I'll take some measurements when I get home.

      i perfer my nelsons without return spings, makes it easier to feel a jammed ball and not chop. much smoother pump stroke without them too.
      did you buy one of the ghosts recently listed on here/fb/ebay?
      if so, congrats and my advice is wait till its in your hands to decide if you really even need the spring

        I am assuming this is for an old school Grey Ghost from the late 80s and early 90s. Not the 2006 Grey Ghost.

          Yea it’s one of the original Ghosts, I probably won’t ever use it when I play but want it 100% original. I bought the ghost that just sold on EBay.

          Getting the measurements would be great! TIA

            A lot of people like return springs. I do on my snipers and my nelsons. They add a little tension but should not make it any less smooth. I've heard sprinkler springs work but the ones I found did not match my Carter. Luckily my original Carter spring turned up. Sprinkler head diameter was good but I never found one long enough taking apart units at home depot.

              Grey Ghost Pump Return Spring:
              • 3.765" Long
              • 6 live turns and 2 half dead turns not flattened at each end
              • 0.043" Carbon Steel Piano Wire (pretty common size)
              • 0.99" OD
              Let me know if you need anything else. Apologies for the delay; I was exhausted when I got home last night and forgot about this.
