I was never able to find any of the green leaf spring versions, they must be the toughest to find Brad. Very few Sellers show the base on these Foam Trucks, so finding needed versions is made even more difficult by that. Nice job! I'll have to start looking harder for these green springs now that you have pictured the first one I have ever seen. kwakers

Hi Brad
well done, it is pretty hard to get it. I have checked my models and found 2 x Foamite with green springs. The first one is with BPW ø12,5x40, the second one has BPW ø12,5x30.

When I checked my 63b, the questions arised, where should be added the Foamite 63b with øBPW12,5x30. I think the models with green tinted springs should have the codes 1, 2 and the models with white springs should have the later codes. When I compare the base plate of the both models, the base plate of the models with the green tinted springs have the base plates without any damage - the die was intact.

But by the models with white springs (does not matter if with the silver or gold nozzle) there is small damage of the die. Your opinion is welcome.

I have updated the 63b page to include Antonins 12.5x30 bpw version and renumbered the listing table to put the green spring versions first.

you may need to refresh the page in order to see the new version.
