'85 5kt WG Spring Dimensions

[Eric Sanborn]

Well we are cleaning up the house getting ready to move.  I ran across
a piece of paper from several years ago where I measured the stock '85
KH waste gate spring.  My plan had been to try to find an alternative
in McMaster or some other industrial supply house.  Never got that
far.  I figured I ought to store the information somewhere and here is
the best place.

1985 5000 turbo FWD - KH engine with watercooled turbo

WG Spring dimensions:

Free height = 79 mm
Outside Diameter = 39 mm
Wire size = 3 mm
Active Coils = 3
Ground ends - both ends

Rough spring rate measurements:

11 mm is 12 lbs
31 mm is 28 lbs
55 mm is 58 lbs

These last measurements were done rather crudely so I would average the results.
