You should know better than to take your wife to something like that.
Wallet yes, wife no! :) Of course part of it is the organizers'
fault. The trick is to provide bus service to nearby gift shops, outlet
stores, antique shops, and the like so the spouse can be diverted while
you're cleaning out the flea market. That's how we used to do it at
NEMGTR GoF's.

They should be suitable for any TR2, TR3, TR3A, or TR4 (to CT23382). The
spring rates changed slightly over the years, if memory serves, but not
enough to matter, and the camber (arch) is the same. I suspect TRF,
Moss, et al sell the same spring for all, without the spacer difference
we were talking about earlier.
