My Exocet would not lock out no matter how I cleaned it or with what product. I emailed the warranty and after two months of waiting for a response I decided to take her apart. The gate is completely limp and missing a spring. Where can I purchase these tiny springs to repair it? I have ordered multiple sizes and none of them are even close to the size and are way too thick to operate it correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Try looking on Etsy. I got a replacement spring for a UTX 70 from there a couple years ago that worked perfectly. I don't remember the seller's name. But if you search Microtech replacement springs there should be some hits. If you can't find anything, I'll see if I can find who I bought mine from.

The seller doesn't mention Exocet. But maybe it'll lead you in the right direction.
