[s-cars] RE: Sachs / SPEC / etc.

[Bob DG]

The original disc SPEC sent me did indeed have the name "sachs" scratched 
off of it. It appeared to be a modified sachs, because to my knowledge sachs 
does not make a multi-puck style disc. The revised disc that I have in now 
looks like a SPEC unit... That thing is grabby...
