73-87 vs 67-72 Springs?

I asked this question in the general forum with no answer so I'll try over here. Does anyone know if 73-87 front springs will fit in a 67-72? They look the same to me but I've never been able to compare them side to side.

Ahh, just as I suspected. It's cool to be right once in a while.

Thanks for digging this up Rg, I see you're search powers are stronger than mine....

Well, my join date was in 2002 and I have a good memory for what interests me. Now if I could just remember the things that interest my wife...

Are you looking to go low? You can also use the 73-up drop spindles if you are willing to work at it...

Well if she's like my wife, I'm sure she'll remind you about a 1,000 times...

Yep, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with the 73-87 spindles too.
