If it's a Buffet, then you're best modifying the F#/C# spring and mounting it in the pillar in the normal manner as well as fitting a much better (heavier) gauge and longer needle spring to make the action far better.

See attachments of how you can improve things - I do this as standard on all Buffets I service or overhaul (as well as reinforcing the nylon pins in the LH levers). Only problem now is Buffet are springing the F#/C# key on ALL their clarinets from the entry level Prodige through to their top level model, whatever it's called (although they spring the F#/C# key on their alto, bass and basset horns in the normal manner).
