How about bathroom scales? Being hat the spring is an awkward shape to weigh properly, the trick is to weigh yourself (only)on the scales, then weigh yourself again holding the spring----take one weight away from the other and you have the weight of the spring----simples!
I haven’t got any scales
They put 25kg but I cannot think it weights that much
Finally after a lot of searching i found the weight of 7kg on https://www.autopartspro.co.uk/mi-r-a-18289058. Thanks for the replies

That weight sounds about right---I have asked my mate (who has my spare spring) if he would weigh the spring for me and let me know what it weighs. As soon as I know the ACTUAL weight, I will put it onto the Forum.

I have just had an answer back from my friend----7.6kg is the weight of a standard 500/126 front spring
Thanks for confirming
