Sold...

I've got an unidentified pair of rear springs that I got as part of a batch of 914 parts. The seller had no clue what they were, as he also got them in a batch with other items.

They are blue, 1/2" wire, 14" free length, about 7 coils (allowing for the flattened ends), correct diameter for 914 at 4.25" (110mm?).

I ran a thread on them earlier for identification help. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=311848&hl= The best guess was that they were 200# springs, possibly from Renegade years ago. This seems possible, as other indications also point to 200#, both online spring rate calculations based on wire size, coils, etc, and the fact that they only deflect a small amount with my weight on one. (I weigh 185 lbs., the springs compress less than 1" under my weight.)

Bearing in mind some uncertainty, I'm going to price these cheap at $55 including shipping in the lower 48. PayPal is fine.
