Grumble, grumble ... if this is a double post, blame it on Comcast.

I need glasses! I remeasured the wire diameter of the springs and sure enough, the diameter is NOT 0.515 but 0.565. Looks like I have the Mustang springs.

So, what did I do? I cut one full coil out of the spring, right from the middle of the spring. (Ok, just kidding, I cut one coil from the end.) Used a Dremel motor tool with a fiberglass reinforced cut off disc. Worked great.

Much easier to get the spring back into place with one coil cut out. Can't wait to get the Cobra back onto it's feet (Cobra have feet?).

Anyway, thanks again everyone!
