Dear Abby Normal,
Said 85 coils have been on shelf and therefore like spring chicken.
Unfortunately, it is now installed in a Westy and difficult to
measure. Note that I did not express a need to compare with a GoWesty
anything. I was simply telling another respondent that I also have
GoWesty springs and am not seeking that comparison.0
Permit me to rephrase my question.
Does someone have springs from a 1985 Westy OUT of the vehicle which
they can measure for me? I have all the other information I need to
complete the comparison.
Johrs Drewly,
BenD
