There are no springs in the pivots, you just bolt them on with one bolt per arm with no spring balancing, then the spring is here:-
Kind of like the brake I modified for myself many many years ago but neater...
Rode this for years with zero problems...

So here is what my knarp looked like inside my brake lever.
I did like one of you guys suggested and called up Odyssey. The dude that picked up made some suggestions but concluded that my knarp must have been defective. Frustrated, I thought i'd take a dremel it and shaved some material off.
I got it to work but ironically, all that work was in vain. Despite my efforts to tighten the screw on the knarp it failed catastrophically after a few good tugs of the lever (which is strange since others have said the knarp holds like a champ).
In the end, I thought of a solution and headed to Empire for a new cable. Here is what I came up with to avoid using the knarp. it works like a charm!

^^^ Really sorry you had such a nightmare. My guess is that the hole was drilled too high up, which means that instead of tightening against the bottom of the clamp body, the cable was just being pushed down the hole... If you can swing by OTX with it and show it to Chris or Taj or someone that would be awesome and they can hook you up with a replacement or something for your trouble.... or just leave it at Empire..

Swing by the office if you are ever down south. I totally forgot you are from the Austin area. If you still have my cell phone number just shoot me a text first. We have extra knarps and even extra Quik Slics laying around the office. I can try to help you get rid of the double barrel adjuster situation you are working with.
