Harris exhaust springs

#1 PostAuthor: Redbeard » Sun Apr 17, 2016 8:16 am

3 of mine are missing, are they still available? If not can anyone confirm what lengths are needed so I can get some universal springs for it? The distances between the hooks appear to vary. Thanks.

The actual spring unstretched measures 40mm plus the hooks which gives approx. 48mm centre to centre and it's 9.6mm diameter.
The distance between the hooks on my original Harris are all the same.

Excellent, thanks everyone. I will enquire at Norman Hyde either way, it will be useful to know. Cheers.
