Ben,
Like others, this raised questions about industrial
espionage in my mind. Of course, now that you have
asked, in my mind Volkscafe would be totally
discredited if they produced spring sets for syncros.
Still, if you are curious, search the archives and the
first thing you will realize is that there is no one
"syncro.org" spring, Steve tried different things over
time. Looking for data from Steves satisfied customers
(of which I am one) will result in a confusion of data
from old springs, new springs, and in between springs,
some of which were further customized for individual
users.
There are a lot of upgrades that syncro owners would
love to have that are not on the market. I'd feel much
better if your inquiries were about developing a new
product, not reinventing something another syncro
supporter has developed with a considerable investment
of time and money.
