I measured the ones I have across the opening in the bottom, and it came 
out to 60mm.  Did I measure it in the right place?  The intake end seems 
to be slightly larger.

BTW, how did you reverse the spring?  Can you just bend them around to 
the proper shape?  These springs on this
BMW throttle seem to be pretty stout.  I don't think bending them into 
shape would be trivial.
