Hi Darrell,
The Rotoflex setup was not designed to use the swing spring, indeed
later GT6s used the swing spring INSTEAD of the Rotoflex, never in
combination. I would recommend you use the correct spring for the Rotoflex
setup, or go for a pure swing spring installation. I don't know what the net
result of your combination of parts would be in terms of handling, but I
suspect it will not be favourable.
Cheers,
Bill.
