Here's the disassembled bolt with the ring washer on the bottom and the SS washer on top. You can see the 2 piece spring:


Here's how the spring pieces mate up with the ring washer:


And with the SS homemade, custom cut & fit washer:


At first I actually thought I had a broken spring but it's too neat and no bad spring ends are showing:

I can see where having a 2 piece spring would relieve some of the force needed to lift the bolt in fact, I think there was a guy on here several months ago that made something similar to ease lift.
Either way, the sloppy fit is gone with the washer in place of the ringy dingy piece.
