Springs? Where are these springs supposed to be? |

Um, between the heads of the screws and the bridge? Their purpose is to put tension on the assembly so the screws don't fall out. They don't work very well, but a Rick looks naked without them! |

That's where the springs would go. |

No wonder they're falling out. My boss tells me that unless you're under tension you don't perform!!
Looks like the springs have been replaced with grommets in order to provide a pseudo lock nut. Different!! |

Here's the page that shows them, part #06114: http://www.rickenbacker.com/pdf/gbridge.pdf
I've seen grommets used here before. The grommet get pinched between the side of the bridge and the threads preventing the screw from turning. |
