What I'd really like is a set of desert sandshields for it. Anyone know if someone makes them or has plans to do so?

I'm with you on the sand shields, Ken!

BTW: Nick the links to your pics seem to be broken. Can you re-post them?

Yes, I can;t see the pictures either and I would like replacement springs as well. Sand shields had a habit of falling off soon after they hit the stoney, rough desert. Vibrate off..

Wait a sec, all you have to do is double click on the picture icon and they come up!

That may well be the case Warren - but I've yet to see a picture of one in N.A. without them.

Really good idea here, I've cracked the box on this one & wouldn't dream of doing this without at least a pack of beta blockers...

But is anyone with me on the irony of replacing metal springs & rods with resin?

I must admit personally I'm going to give the metal a damn good try before looking at these.

Here are the pics:
