gear lever return spring on jota

[cape]

Got a broken spring and now installing a new one. Just forgot to check how I should mount it. Are the spring tips supposed to cross or to be parallel?

Don't forget the washer between spring and cover.

Thanks, it's clear now. But that is simply bad design. The spring operates in wrong direction, out that is. There is unnecessary tension and obvious risk of break. Well, what do I know...
