Aperature return spring in zoom

I was wondering if anyone had a reference for lens repair on specifically a non-standard Leica zoom? I have a Leica R 28-70mm 3.5/5.6 zoom that is manufactured in Japan, so I assume its one of the Sigma designations.

 

I had to work on the mount and have a spring that is screwed only at one end. I can not figure out where the other end re-attaches, but think it may be for tension to the aperature tab.

 

It is the later design with the FL imprinted on side and works fine otherwise.

 

thanks,

You might want to post this query on the RFF in the "mad scientist section" along with some good photos of the parts, asking for help - some great technicians seem to have an answer on such issues there ;-)
