Care to measure for me?

Inside, outside, uncompressed (free) length, coil diameter, and number of coils?

7 coils, approx 1 15/16" free length, 1 1/4" base coil width, 1" top coil width.
Last coil ends about 5/8 of the circumference past the other end.
Y'all can dig out your micrometers now...


BTW, that actually is a tape measure...

Excellent. Thanks, guys!

L67 or L36? I have a set of stock L36 heads here I can take to Rob in a week and have him measure.
