Where mine's easy enough to deal with, without any effort, if you need anything else that perhaps roaddad hasn't provided, just let me know.

Where were you last night?!?!?!?!?! Maybe you could have sent yours to Bane. In retrospect I would have paid for the shipping .

Getting it off was easy. It was feeling like I had accurate enough measurements without ripping off all the felt that was difficult. Who places bolt holes 3 and 15/16" apart? I measured with 3 different calipers 4 times each to be sure that I was getting that right. What about 4"? Makes more sense to me . No flat surfaces and tight clearances made angle measurements a little more tricky as well.


Oh, my "fettled" area extends for the most part about 3/4" from the front edge towards the bolts.
