WRAITH STEERING.

Will you please detail modified springs and ball pad guides for the rear side steering tube joint on Wraith. The springs should be arranged to form the limit of travel by coming choc-a-bloc.

Will you please also detail springs for the cross steering tube joints to exert 50% more load than at present.
