Seeking info
I have opened a cadet up which had loads of preload as it came apart such that it won't safely go back together.
Anyone able to say how long a cadet spring should be? this one is 7 & 3/4 " and I guess is from a major or meteor perhaps?
I've now opened another and it's a good inch or more shorter and little preload on re assembly.
They also have same length but slightly different pistons (piston body & their washer type), B serials if that has any bearing on it but one is the reinforced wrist grip stock type (B39xxx) and the other the bolt fixing version (B44xxx).
No pics I'm afraid as I don't have a hosting site at the mo since photobucket changed.
Best just order one from Knibbs I suppose and replace the long one.
