The ones I have on my valve lifter cables are about 2" long John.

Hi msrk
Thanks for that - I note your cable is the earlier type with the “drum “ shaped nipple suitable for the combo lever set up

Later type were fitted with a kind of tapered nipple used with the common single pull lever

I have cable making equipment here & the springs provided are too long & very stiff

Back to the drawing board - I might just shorten those I have here

Re: Valve lifter cable

If you remove coils from the springs John it will get stiffer!

Cant be right
