When I called a few weeks back, I got an answering machine but didn’t want to leave a message.  Sounds like you need to talk to someone since there is multiple types of springs and detent pins.

I agree with that but he doesn't answer his email either. I'm waiting about ten days.

The detent bullet itself is easy enough to make out of 1/4" axle stock but the springs are a little unique and how do you match them if they are missing to begin with?


There was no indication anywhere that he is closed until a certain date or on vacation.

Carl's Ford is like this now too. I've been trying to reach him for two years.

At least it wasn't just me that Kee is avoiding where as with Carl, I'm not so sure?  ::)


The whole world is going to Hell in a basket it would seem? I was in a restaurant the other day and asked for water. They said they don't stock it and would have to order it but it might be back ordered and on a barge in Long Beach?

I've always had good luck with Dan Williams in North Carolina for top loader parts and technical support. Have not had any dealings with him in years, but he was always very helpful.
