I am sorting through the springs for my seat post; 4 are intact and 2 are broken in multiple spots.
I am 90% confident that the 3 Cushion Springs that are below the Plunger Lock Nut are intact. Flat wire, ID 0.514, OD 0.956 & lengths 4-3/4, 4-15/16, 3.
The remaining intact spring is round wire, ID 0.645, OD 0.91 & length 2-7/16. This seems short for the Seat Post Auxiliary Spring 51778-30, but the exploded diagram shows the Seat Post Recoil Spring 51777-30 as being very short. When I assembled the seat post per page 68 of Palmer's HTRYHD vs 1, with this spring in the Seat Post Recoil Spring position, there was not enough thread left for all the hardware.
I appreciate any advise in identifying this spring as the 51777-30, 51778-30 or 51780-30, so I can search for the correct replacements. I would prefer to use the old springs rather than buy a replacement set and store 4/6 of a set indefinitely.
