Hello, I'm building a PC with old storage media capabilities and one of those is an internal ZIP750 drive. I took off the front bezel and dust flap to paint them white so that it matches the front panel - sadly 750s only came in black. Yeah yeah, I could have picked up an internal 100 or 250 and left the 750s to an external USB one, but I did the opposite, the milk's already spilled.
So I bought some plastic dye and sprayed those parts, waiting for them to dry right now. My question is, how to properly set in the spring that makes the dust flap move back once the disk is ejected? It's a little thing like this (center of the image):
I didn't bother to look at the way it was originally installed so now I'm a bit at a loss haha
I'm sure I'm going to need a pair of tweezers to put it in while bent so it stores some potential energy, but I'm not sure as to the exact arrangement. I'd appreciate some help 😁
