Tailwheel parts...

Does anyone know what exactly the tailwheel parts will be listed as on the inventory list? Or to put it another way, are the socket weldment (WD-409?) and the strut listed separately or included in the "full swivel tailwheel" item?

I'm asking because when I ordered my fuselage I asked Van's to leave off the fork, springs, and wheel in anticipation of using an aftermarket part (essentially, leaving just the weldment and the strut). I may have just misplaced the parts in the shop, but I wanted to check and make sure I didn't miss something here, as I didn't see either item listed on the inventory list but I could swear I unpacked them...
 
Yes, I had to order it and a spring. Apparently those are included i the "full swivel tsilwheel" kit.
 
We have the tapered rod springs, if that helps.

Of course, we have all of the other tailwheel bits too.
