Sounds like they are the same ones that I used on the Sammio and Miglia as I had to do the same mod.
FYI I;ve since found out that it's not the springs that are an odd size, rather its the spring steats! Reason I found this out is because when I was buying my shorter springs for the Miglia from Merlin Motorsport one of the guys there phoned up GAZ (as you do) in order to check the shock specs and he was told that Rimmers (and I expect a few others) special order Herald/Vitesse specific ones with a slightly larger diameter ring than is std!
