I have a New Britain 1/4" Ratchet that I took apart to clean and lube (no model number) While trying to put it back, together I lost the bearing and the spring bent. Is it possible to get a replacement spring and bearing for this ratchet? I have the tool to reinstall the spring and bearing. Thanks.

I would think that to be highly doubtful, Levaughn. What you have there is a Fors pattern ratchet. While it's one of my absolute favorites, it had a very short production span between the older Costello and the Kilness RHFT. Sears bought so few for the Craftsman line that it is considered hens teeth rare. But I will make the same recommendation I always make to guys looking for factory replacements or kits. Cannibalize a pen or anything with a simple spring that will fit and cut it to size. Same thing for the ball. Any steel ball that fits will do. Just experiment until you get enough pressure. These aren't precision parts.
