Wo bekomme ich diese Zugfedern und welche Größe benötige ich genau? Vielen Dank schon einmal

Fabian Neidhardt - Dec 20, 2021

Entweder bestellst du sie online oder du versuchst es in einem Fachhandel. Der Ersteller dieser Anleitung gibt die Längen der Federn mit 5 mm und mit 25 mm an. Wenn du nur längere findest, kannst du sie theoretisch auch selbst kürzen.

Ich habe die Zugfedern in diesem Artikel mit einem Link hinterlegt. Diese müssen zum Teil mit einer Zange manuell gekürzt werden. Das ist aber relativ einfach möglich.
