Easy way to check.

Get a piece of pipe the spring fits inside. Seal the lower end. Fill with oil right to the brim. Slowly place the spring in and catch any displaced oil. Measure the displaced oil. 38ml is 3.8nm spring. 42ml is a 4.2nm spring. 46ml is a 4.6nm spring and so on.

A slick as you like method of checking unknown springs. Stops them rusting to.
 
Gutted. I wrote that after the pin last night and expected a right hoo hah. Nothing. :rotflmao:

It was a joke so please don’t go filling tubes with oil:D
