If I’d’ve had any springs I would’ve most gladly included one.
I don’t charge for them as a rule and there’s a minimum order of ยฃ35 plus carriage. So it costs me roughly $60 ?

Ive baught T6 and TF in the past.
The 6 refers to the hardnes of the material. ie toughend to “6” and toughend to “F” = fully.
Not sureif if the”T” goes down to “0” or if there’s any “T” overlap from 6081 to 6082.
