Another interested member got a hold of me and wants a couple of sets of these. In his email he only refferred to the spring CGB371B. I checked the parts manual and it refers to two types of springs, with the GB 371 spring being superceded by the CGB 371-B. Problem is, I have both types on mine, and am not sure which one to make up. I'd hate to get 100 springs made and find they are too long.
What amount of coils are on the springs you guys have? On my short springs, there are 38 coils and the hooks both point the same way. On the longer spring, there are 41 coils, and the hooks are in opposite directions. The 41 coil spring is 7-1/8" long, while the 38 coil spring is 6-1/2" long.
I'm leaning towards getting the longer spring made up. I had one of each break, and one of each survive, so I don't know if it makes much difference survival wise.

Your offer sounds good with the exception that too often the favour type deal drags out too long. I can have them into Winnipeg and the whole order made up in a couple of days. And since I will likely only have the one spring type made up (371-B) my setup costs are now cut in half.
Also, if anyone else is interested in some of these, let me know. 100 springs would be enough for 25 carriers, this would likely cover the current and near future needs.
