In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of springs. OK, it's not spring yet and I'm not such a young man any more, but here's a question:
What does a yellow paint marking signify on a short roadholder spring.
A search of the interwebs gives red for Commando/Dominator and green for lightweights but nothing definitive for yellow.
They are a bit shorter than red ones at about 18 1/8 inches and would have come out of either a Dominator or Commando, but got mixed up with a pair of red ones in my parts midden.
Sidecar springs

Roy Bacon's book
"Norton Twins" has the info on spring colours as I recall, but my copy is not immediately to hand.

just a thought, if anyone out there knows what th sidecar spring rate is? or they may be a racing option. (Girling rear dampers also had 3 coloured parralell vertical paint stripes ,diferentiating s-rates on black springs)...
