I really liked the Lynx style catch by _TK-521 when I was using a ~30mm OD 2.3mm K24 style spring, but in Australia I struggled to get access to a 1.8mm or 2.0mm wire diameter K24 spring with the right number of coils, so my best bet to decrease the prime weight was an easily available longshot/K25 spring.
The original catch and plunger rod weren't retaining the narrower diameter spring well, which resulted in twisting and bending and a lot of crunch when priming, so I modified both to keep it straight. The catch geometry theoretically supports a spring up to 25.9mm OD with up to 2.4mm wire diameter, and the plunger 25.5mm OD, but in practice it's probably a little less than that.
No new hardware or other changes needed. I tried to keep the weight down in the slicer, but it's inevitably heavier than the original. Haven't noticed any issues as yet.
