I junior hacksaw a piece off to make them the same as the originals. No problem fitting using a pair of needle nose pliers. In fact I find them harder to remove than fit!

Hopefully the image will post. The difference between old original and new replacements is quite obvious. It's impossible to fit the spring with the longer "hook".

Re: Beehive Springs -again!
My apologies, most owners have discussed some sort of issue here regarding a Minor during ownership but can’t ever recall a post of yours doing so.
