Hello,
I have bought die springs from Wag and was wondering if the maximum compression distance is sufficient. It is a 2” spring, 1” rod, 6” long. According to the specs, it has a resistance of 32.8 lbs per 1/10 inch. Deflection of 1.5” with 490 lbs and maximum deflection of 3”.
But the length of the holes allowing the travel are only 2” long (see picture). Is this enough ? There is about 0.25” precompression but isn’t there about one inch missing ?
