It would be a shame if they were out of business. Maybe it is not the same company. The sticker on my Midget Mustang wheel says they are in Ojai, CA, phone 805-646-6042. I would not be surprised if that area code has changed since the wheel has been there for a while.
I checked Aircraft spruce and they are at this link. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/lg/tailwheels.html. They are the ones listed as the homebuilder's special wheels and all but one style is in stock. You can also get the ones for the 5/8" round spring and the spring from www.mustangaeronautics.com although the flat springs would be better suited to a KR. I do like the Matco alot, but it is just a little heavier. I still have the Matco from my last KR and I will be using it on the 2S with a wheelchair inflatable tire and a light weight aluminum wheel that I will make on my lathe.

I tried to contact them and was told they had gone out of business. Do you have any info on this? Do you like your Matco unit? I am building a KR2S.
