Andy :
My understanding was that all TR 2/3/4 were delivered with the short
springs and spacers. The first TRF catalog that came to hand agrees,
but describes the long spring they sell as a "valid factory
supercession".
So, although the concours judge might knock off a point or two, it looks
like the long spring should work fine.
