Valve Tappet Guide Springs

I have a source that will produce new, replacement valve tappet guide springs for W5 (Part No. 20691) and 14L (Part No. 22376) engines. If I have a minimum order of two dozen, the unit price will be in the range of $2.75 to $3.00. If my order is at least six dozen, the unit price should be about $1.00 less. Please let me know if you wish to order either and how many you want. I should place my order within a week to avoid being delayed by holidays at the manufacturer's.
Thanks.

I have an order in for a couple of sets for Butch and myself.
If anybody thinks they might ever need a set, now's the time to get them. They probably will not be available in the future.

Re: Valve Tappet Guide Springs

I need to clarify what springs I am having produced. These are NOT the large VALVE SPRINGS but the small springs that press against the flat side of each of two tappets to reduce the chance of the tappet twisting when it begins to lift.
I have sent this clarification to each of you who has placed an order. Several have cancelled after discovering their error. Several have maintained their order. Several have yet to respond to my private email. If I hope to get these springs made in the near future, I must submit an order before the end of July; so, if you want any, please let me know right away. To date, the number required is far below the six dozen needed for the lower price.
By the way, I, too, am looking for valve springs for both W5 and 14L engines. Please let me know if you have a source for these.

Re: Valve Tappet Guide Springs

Any additional orders for the tappet guide springs should be to me by the end of next week (August 6th) at the latest. I will then be in touch with individuals concerning probable delivery time and final price.

Thank you.
