It looks like the spring has been squashed so the ball bearing dissapears into one side of the head. Looks easy to over tighten so the clip does not work.

So curiosity got the better of me & I dissembled one of my heads. I was hoping I could get the spring out for a look but I'm unable to remove mine easily.
Are you able to stretch/reform the spring?
Weirdly, they give you spare bearings & screws, no spring though.

New Direction supplying Chinese crap at inflated prices? Well knock me down with a feather.

Your as bad as me, I'd of done the same thing if I had one
I wonder it the tag end of the spring is lodged in the thread where the grub screw locates, might be able to screw it out if so, small screwdriver jammed in the spring and turn. I can't see the spring being fixed it negate what it does. I suppose there could be a raised burr most of the spring is pushed over so most of it is bearing side, that'd keep the spring in place but I can't see them going to that level of detail, espesh in plastic.

I had a poke around with a tiny screwdriver & I'm unable to find a spring in mine. There is obviously something "springy" in there. I wonder if it could be a type of rubber pressed/pushed inside the hole instead of a spring? It wouldn't rust.. 🤔
Let us know how it goes, purely for curiosity (& moral support!).

Stick a small drill down the hole and you will feel a spring. I haven't had chance for a look yet.

I havent been able to get the spring out, I recon if I do it might get knackerd.

If the spring isn't working properly what do you have to lose? If your using a drill bit, or have some, you should be able to gauge the size of the hole and/or spring, then you can find them on Ebay, or ask Keith @ Defiant MPS if he has some he'd sell to you

This thing is brand new, Im cheesed off with it. Those MPS indicators look quality but there's not much in the way of reviews on-line. I would get something like the Warlock with the sliding weight.

Mps gear is top quality, their reputation is worth more than any online reviews. Hand made quality rather than mass produced rubbish that companies like Nd sell

Buy with confidence. It's proper machined and made in the UK gear. Keith is a member on here too.

I'd be annoyed too, I'd be asking for a replacement as the idea is interesting.
Best of both worlds, as I said before, ask Keith if he would do a top section for you.

I wanted the indicator to be a bit more visual so got Kudos to make some yellow heads with integrated clips , and now love them , such a versatile idea that covers all situations with the
Loaded spring body's
