Shooter Rod Spring Kit
« on: May 18, 2021, 08:28:31 AM »
Hi all, tried my google skills but got zilch


I'm looking for a kit with all the various strength, length and colour shooter springs in it so i can sort custom rods in my machines. Does anyone know if someone in Australia stocks such a thing?
If so could you provide a link?

Not in Aussie to my knowledge but Marcos in the USA used to have an assortment set.

Rtbb has a good range but you need to order them individually as there's no kit on his site

Thanks guys, i often put custom shooter rods (the heavy stainless ball type) in my machines and need to adjust. I'll order all the colours seperatly i guess, it's a shame i can't just get a set like you would with O rings, split pins etc.

We don't sell the kits, as it is easier just to order what you need in bulk.

WH2O needs a stronger spring as it will not get up the ramp
