You cannot just put the spring straight on as the inside diameter is smaller on the cap, KM, mugen etc. But in saying that in normal running conditions i use red shoe serpent spring 0.6-0.7 gap and tension all the way and come out a turn and a bit. I have also found this not to work on some other peoples cars it's a funny thing but we just tune around it. Hope that helps.

In high bite conditions when I need the most out of my I clutch; I do the same thing just with Shepherd components. You are correct; the Serpent nut is wider than most other manufactures springs.

Pass you soon...
