I just purchased four springs from John McBean. Mine were wearing through. Changed them at the annual. The price was very reasonable. Throw some business John's way. Also, run safety wire inside the spring. Jeff Classsic IV

The springs most typically wear thru at the ends (due to rubbing on the exhaust brackets), not the middle, so safety wire run inside the spring will not help.

this is a pic from an avid I just picked up. It shows what he is talking about o nthe safety wire. It does hold the exhaust together for a little while if the spring breaks. Another thing we do on our race snowmachines is smear high temp RTV on one side of the spring. It keeps alot of the vibtarion and rattling down.

I run a lockwire up inside my exhaust springs in case one of the springs
breaks it won't be flailing around inside the cowl. It is tied pretty loose
but will hold the exhaust together for short periods of time even if more
than one spring decides to call it quits.

Brian,
The safety wire is there in case the spring breaks. It is wired to the connectors in side the spring. I guess you had to be there. Jeff

You are supposed to safety wire the springs, So when they break the wire keeps all the pieces together and not hsorting or flying around in the cowling , also supposed to put rtv rubber silicone on the spring this helps keep the vibrations down and also keep the pieces together .
