R 75/5 ignition switch

Replacing the ignition switch on my '72 R75/5. "There is an elliptical band spring that holds a ball bearing on the internal shaft" from a post long ago by James A. (you still out there James?). I can see where the ball bearings fit into the shaft. I received 2 elliptical band springs with the kit I bought from "Boxer 2-Valve (Wunderlich America)". One spring has a clean split, on the other the end edges are flared in. My dilemma is, ( other than the "sproing" when I took the original switch out ), do I use both of the band springs maybe one inside the other or, what is the correct assembly? Many thanks.

Here's another old write up. https://ibmwr.org/index.php/2018/07/14/bmw-5-ignition-switch-removal-repair/

It's been years since I did this job. You might give the folks at Wunderlich, Benchmark, or MAXBMW a call for advice.

Yeah, post from 12 years ago! Thank you both for the input; I will follow up with those resources.

If you are assembling the column/tower/what ever we call it, use one spring band (i'd use the one that is not flared) and make sure the open end is opposite the ball. The ball is the detent that fits in to the grooves in the key(nail).
BTW, my post from 12 years ago is one of the most exhaustive posts I've ever written, and was composed when the issue was still fresh in my mind. Feel free to contact me directly if you want more guidance.
