These older Crawford and Mc Kee torsion spring cones were made for 5/8 “bars. Sometimes, nevertheless, the holes are too little for 5/8” bars. Whatever you do, don’t use a 1/2 “bar; instead, grind down a 5/8″ bar to fit. I just recently had a Mc Kee spring let loose after winding due to the fact that I utilized a 1/2″ bar when my 5/8” bar would not fit. The only safe way to replace these older springs is to make.
