Hi, search function is being silly. I need a new spring. My supplier says there is a range and I wouldn't mind more power.
I removed a worn od 46 mm, length 137mn
It is a brassilia 2 group Antonella (private badge?)
Thoughts?
Range supplier has is 43-48od
And 139-160 length.
Looks like another mm or 2 possible in od.
Length bit too clear, but I imagine at least 5+mm possible..
Present spring 11 turns.

turns out they only had one size after all, I had been misinformed. I got a SS 48/136 which is working great. FWIW I guess I could install a spacer in the top spring seat if I wanted more spring power....
