The stupid server for the archives won't let you link a message directly.

What does it say?

The 1st number is the spring rate. However, on some springs it is in in/lb. and on others it is in metric units.

You are incorrect. 180.64.35. The first number is the unloaded length of the spring, in this case 180mm or roughly 7". The second number is the diameter of the spring; 64mm or roughly 2.5". The 3rd and final number is the actual spring rate, in this case it's in some metric measurement (newton/meters, kg/mm?!?)

700.250.300... Obviously, most of you know that is the SAE measurement (7", 2.5", 300in/lb.)
