Found a weird dual spring early cylinderhead

[ngobet]

Hi everyone,

I have a strange head, because it is really early with cog wheel. It has dual spring, that is really weird.
Does anyone know about this?

thanks

Measure the diameter of the cylinder openings. It tells if it's a pre or post 43 KdF head.

Dual springs were in use up to 29th of May in 1952.

Ok thank you all, I didn't know that early 25hp had dual springs.

Will check the cylinder opening

I wish someone repo dual springs for 25hp/36/okrasa heads...

Would those springs be different from 25hp springs?

It's for 1131 ccm, 1943-49, the most probably made in the war time.
