When I asked the original manufacturer about this once, they replied that
the spring/pin were installed in the manufacturing process before the unit
was fully assembled, such that re-installing them onto an already-assembled
unit would be difficult or impossible. I cannot confirm (and have not looked
too carefully myself), just relaying what the manufacturer told me.

If they could be proven wrong, I'd be interested myself.  I detest having to
sell a whole new inlet to everyone whose cover or spring is broken!
