When you say same spring rates, are you talking Wolfe or Associated colors ?

At this time we are concentrating on the much needed items. They will be the same type of spring as previously sold by wolfe. And yes, there is much more to come in the next weeks and months.

My stuff is not yet ready except for for spring buckets and .080 spacers. My large spring bucket is purple and the small ones are red. Those are ready now. At this time I still have quite a few Wolfe springs in standard and progressive if anyone needs them. MURDOCKRC@AOL.COM

Distributors will have everything as quickly as possible though. Some springs are here, some are on the way and the rest are being made or painted today. I would look for the whole package to be ready in a week and a half.

Rob I received my order today and just wanted to thank you. This was exactly what I wanted and I will pass the word on about your products and service-outstanding. Was that the last set you had? Or should I wait until a few weeks when "other products come out"? Thanks again.

Thank you everyone very much. Positive comments and support such as these make what we do so much more rewarding. My goal here is to do nothing but bring you the products you need and in the best way possible. Im a racer too and having the equipment I need is a must to compete and most of all have FUN.

Ken, those blocks have not been in production for some time now. But Im glad we were able to find them and get them to you.

Glad to be here for my fellow racers and thank you. Im dedicated to bringing the racers what they need and doing all I can to communicate with everyone to keep them informed of what happening. I feel that communication is key to keeping everyone informed of what is new or upcoming. MSA already has some of the spring works stuff and Competition products will have much of it this week. So tell you LHS that they can be contacted for restocking their spring and suspension stuff through them as well. Thank you all for your support and business and my email or phone is always open for everyone.

The king pin kits include 1 pair of pins, 6 spring buckets (2 small, 4 large) e-clips, 2 .080 spacers(with the long kit), and .020 shims.

They inlcude everyting needed to shim them, and run standard or progressive springs.

Rob,

What material is being used for the 1/8" axles, and the length from bearing seat, to the end of the threads?

Thanks, Bret

MURDOCKRC
01-26-2006, 03:03 PM
Size and length are going to pretty much the same as previous manufacturers. the material being used is top secret, but is much stronger than previously used and in testing has not been bent. So, it would appear that if you bend one of these you hit the wall way to hard. ;) But this material has proven to be much better than we are used to in the past.

How about 1/8th axles "please" for da birds

MURDOCKRC
01-31-2006, 11:18 PM
We have done all that can be done but the axles will not be ready for the birds. We have had a couple little delays in getting them done. I would look for them to be available the week after the birds in time for all the other big races that will be going on from then on though. All I can say is that every attempt possible was made to make them available. The Spring Works will be at 100% just after the birds.

As mentioned above a very large shipment of springs and long king pin kits has been shipped to the Motel for snowbird bound racers. Sure Lube is also there (very hot item). See Barry Hill from hyperdrive/msa and they will take care of you.

Up to speed: just to keep everyone informed the springs are much, much improved from the previous one on the market. Our first run were pretty much the same as were available but the latest run are extremely improved. Better material with a smoother feel and the green 12# standard has been updated to be a smoother spring like the red 10# standard but with the heavier rate. Im very pleased with that after running them today and Im sure you will be too. In case you want to know how to tell the difference the paint will tell that story. The new run has improved paint as well. All springs are now updated to the new material and they are all SWEET. Many of you have come to know me (Rob) as a very picky person about what I sell and I can assure you that every thing I produce will be top notch equipment.
