6 11/16 is a good number. I had one yesterday which was starting to rub at 6 3/4 and after I pressed it down it measured 6 5/8.
It seems these things wind up when the prop hits something hard and they release. Pressing them back to size seems to work and I think I’ve only seen one where the spring was actually broken. That’s where the brazing comes in handy.
