    This one is on the guys at the shop, I can't take much credit on this one, we have been very slammed at the shop, and this took much longer than I wanted it to..

    Brian even had his hands on these, and he can tell you it took much longer than we wanted, if anything the biggest thanks is to one of the members here having the patience in me having his clamp for the last few weeks without one complaint..

    I prefer the knurled look on both parts myself! I would be interested in one if it doesn't require a second on the homestead. Nice work for sure!

    Our lathe guy put his heart and soul into these things every Saturday. He made sure everything was exactly the same as the original. And they look amazing! As for me, I just drilled the holes for the set pins...lol

    There's still a little more work. Larry discovered the holes in the spacers are to small for a spindle so I'll open them up.
    This means I no longer need my custom aluminum record weight so I'll be giving that away.

    I will have these ready sometime in the next few days, there will be 10-12 available...

    This will be a one time only run, there is just too much work in them to get them done, I can see why these never really went very far with the cost, and time it takes to get them done..

    Death Grip coming soon...
