According to Oak they gave me the latest tensioners available at the time looks like I have been hosed. I had assumed that the external spring had been superceeded....I believe the numbers all matched with what you had but it was long ago. I should still have the boxes...I even checked with them twice!!

So it looks like I have to pull that one out..

If you have the current corrects numbers hit me again!!

That weird; Well the new one PFAFF looked up for me is definitely the one with the bigger spring around it... as the old one I pulled (in the picture) looks almost like the other two... either way I wouldn't pull it and replace it again if I were you... the main thing is you replaced it with one that's not worn out

But you know me ...

The spring rate and end are completely different; there must be a reason for that

The one that went in had the the double circle symbol and the new type alloy .....but no spring and broad tip. The rest of it looked like the old one

Just looked....remember you sent the numbers via text and I didn't get them as my phone changed!!!
