Where are you located, Bob? I have two springs just like that with the
paint still on them. Left from a Home Depot screw up several years
ago. My doors are all the spring around the shaft type. Would love to
lighten the shop a bit.


Let me know. Relaxed length and diameter. Just pay for UPS ground.


Paul, thanks but I didn't see your post until after I had ordered new ones.


What! You mean I to trip over them for another 15 years?


Advertise them for sale (in Arabic) as missile launcher parts. They'll
be gone tomorrow.
