Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 3038  Name: Spider Slayer
* 
3038-1 (Inv) Spider Slayer
364 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 1998
Sets: Technic: Competition

* Change 1 Part Dark Gray {2909c01 Technic, Shock Absorber 9.5L (Undetermined Spring Type) to 2909c03 Technic, Shock Absorber 9.5L (Soft Spring)}

Comments from Submitter:
I have no visual proof so here's some written instead. Sister set 8266 has soft spring. No dark gray versions of this spring are for sale or have sold in either hard or very hard or even extra extra hard. All the used copies of this I've looked at show soft and Frank said his sisters ex husbands cousin had a copy of this set given to him at a 'turn of the millenium technic building party' and they are pretty sure I'm correct.

Your evidence was so-so and Frank's sister's ex-husband's cousin's
evidence was less than convincing. I think I will go with my evidence. Here is
a close up image of a sealed set. Huh. Turn's out that Frank's sister's
ex-husband's cousin was right.
