Is the bajonet purely mechanical or electrical as well?

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

On the inside of the bayonet (inside of the body close to the mirror) there are 3 small springs (I think that that is what they are called), one of those springs broke. Is it risky to remove the ring and replace a spring from another body?
I am quite capable with teardown but by no means an expert.

In case I might have misunderstood, but these small springs are not removable without touching anything electrical?
