Hi All,

Hey there... Why won't you just try it on? If you have doubts if it is the same..which I think is probably just the spring length, just grab a Vernier caliper and measure both top and lower inner and outer diameters and lengths of the "holes" on each end! it's that easy mate!

just wondered if anyone knew if there was a difference in spring rate etc. I'm sure the 'holes' are the same

cheers
