An obscure question for anyone with twin SU's...

 

I'm after a tension (aka expansion) spring, the throttle return springs for twin SU's look likely candidates for my needs (short but stretchier than the norm). I wondered if anyone could do some basic measuring before I take myself round to Minispares? 

 

The main thing I need is the free length, but if  you also measured one a full intended stretch that'd be dandy  :-)

 

Thanks muchly
