I wonder if part that you placed the space bar into is pressing a bit to tightly on the rod that is to pivot. It may be that if both sides of the mount are too tight the space bar would feel like it is jammed. Could you place the typewriter on the back (not ribbon cover) and still have the carriage free? If so maybe a slight outward pressure on one of the mounts may show it the tension is too great pressing into the sides of the space bar rod. Knowing your expertise though you may have already tried this.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.com
