Just bear in mind that there are three (at least) spring specs, coded by a
paint spot on the spring.  All I know is that 1) according to the list
(Ottmar maybe?) a while ago the Westy takes the heaviest spring, which is
blue-dotted; and 2) my local dealer alleged that there is no way to tell
which spring is wanted except by looking at the paint dot on the existing
one.  I'm sure they lie, but that's what they said. When I was inquiring
several years ago they said their price was about $150 per spring,
regardless of which code.
