The Ford Barn

I know that the subject of the front engine mount springs has been discussed in many posts. I have given up on getting springs from any of the vendors since it appears that none of them have the correct ones. I have been searching the web and have found a spring that is almost correct to the original ford drawing. It has an I.D. of .507 with a compressed length of .83 instead of .88 and a load rating of 60 lbs. I don't know what Henry did for finish but this one is zinc plated The only major difference is the free length is only 1.5 instead of 1.62. What are every ones thoughts on it being a little short in the non compressed length.
Another drawback is that I have to buy $40.00 worth of a $3.18 spring to meet a minimum for shipping. Anyone want to buy two springs from me?
