YOU ARE PURCHASING 50 PAIR OF
REPRODUCTION MOTOR BRUSH SPRINGS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO FIT YOUR ORIGINAL
AURORA AFX MAGNA-TRACTION H.O. SCALE SLOT CARS. THESE BRUSH SPRINGS WILL
ALSO FIT YOUR AUTO WORLD X-TRACTION , X-TRACTION ULTRA G OR JOHNNY LIGHTNING X-TRACTION
CHASSIS. PLEASE NOTE THESE BAGS ARE PRE-PACKED AND THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST 100 PAIR OF SPRINGS IN EACH BAG BUT I AM NOT GOING TO COUNT EACH BAG. SOME BAGS HAVE 100 + SOME MIGHT HAVE A BIT LESS - EITHER WAY THIS IS A DEAL
Here is some basic information on the comm springs:
Our measurements show original Aurora spring wire size is .005" (material unknown). There are 3 or 3.5 coils per spring at an uncompressed height of .054".
The new comm springs are made here in the USA from .0064" beryllium copper. The larger wire should have less electrical resistance and be a bit more sturdy than original Aurora, while not increasing friction or binding. There are 3.5 coils per spring at an uncompressed spring height of .054". These springs will also work in all JL and AW X-Traction type chassis. They are excellent replacements for the larger, stronger comm springs found in some recent AW cars.
Our observations have shown some recent Auto World comm springs are larger, using .008" wire (material unknown) and an uncompressed height of .0065". These larger springs can tend to cause excessive heat and friction/binding when used in original Aurora chassis.
