    Okay, that's correct.

    Inside, the plastic mounting point for the spring has
    disintergrated, so I think it's toast.

    Oh no! Go, go, super glue!
    But to be honest, I really hope that there was some kind
    of L-shaped metal "hook" part that one could super-glue it
    onto the chassis, and the spring could be mounted onto
    (or for better or worse, glued to) this flat perpendicular part
    that is poking up.

    I had not spent too much time in hardware or crafts store
    recently, so I'm not sure if such thing exists off-the-shelf...

    Yep!

    Do I need to add something when I rot13 a word?

    I hadn't heard there was a common convention to explicitly mark ROT13 parts; but I personally put such obfuscated answer in all-uppercase
    and enclosed in "//...//" like foreign language blurb
    in some comic books, especially when such obfuscation happened
    in the middle of non-obfuscated sentence. For example:

    Don't you think this was //NJRFBZR//?

    Sometimes, when I answer challenges and discuss [1] how I came up with
    the answer (including alternate answers along the way) I would use
    this mark a lot to denote parts in the text that were obfuscated.
