To make one, just copy the original. So, three pieces of sheet metal, one upper piece slotted to allow adjustment. I can measure the thickness if you like. Brass would do. But personally I’d just buy one.

Was browsing/researching parts and remembered about grandad's Montine. I believe it's the same AS1913 someone else has online. It has the button push style crown for date set, but it is kind of loose, no strong click between wind and set, and no strong push/return on the date change.
I remember you said bolt/bolt spring when I forgot the name a few months ago. Would it definitely be this and not the set lever spring (or are they synonymous?) Also something about needing hands/dial off to do the repair.
It's bothering me a little.

Thanks.
No I didn't get the platform. Any tips to make one? (But first I'll try that eBay one...)
Noted for the silver brazing, it's what I have at home, but not watchmaking / jewellery graded, is that ok?
I'll clean as much as I can, no access to ultrasonic but it shouldn't be dirty in the crack as it just formed the other day when I was trying to de-bend the tab.
