I know it's the wrong section, but I need a little help. I'm trying to figure out the numbers on an Elka spring. Factory numbers are 200 and 6.7 but I don't know what they mean. It's roughly an 8 inch spring and I'm guessing somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 or so pounds. Thanks

the 200 is the ID of the spring and it is a 361.8 spring rate in pounds you have to multiply the 6.7 by 54 to get the rate in LBS

To convert kg/mm to lb/in. Elka is metric :D
