Whitney rolling block

[dogrunner]

Can anyone post or suggest where I might pull up a parts diagram for a Whitney rolling block. Gun appears to have originally been .43 Spanish, now reblld to .44 mag. Somehow or other I managed to get drafted into getting it functional. Fitted new os parts from Dixie & gun now works. Problem is the locking block will not remain forward when hammer is cocked. My take is that the piece is missing a spring, but less a diagram even re constructing same is pure cut and try guesswork...

Anybody???

They don't seem to have many Whitney parts. I would think you could make the right block spring (#17, I figure that's what you need) out of a #1 or a #11/2
