I don't have a way of measuring the tension, but here are the dimensions: Spring is just over 1" long (1.05) and just over 1/2 in diameter. The diameter of the spring material is .0625 (which is 16 gauge).

Spring is adjustable, so the overall tension will not be that critical as setting it properly.

Thank you very much Rob, I had a read up about setting it as you said using an air line

The ball and spring are the easier bit, the adjusting screw is a bit harder for me, that said I reckon I could machine one up .
