What if you just turned a plug out of the same material to press in there after the machining work is done to fill the hole and reduce the I.D. to the correct wire size.

Well that would add the weight back on and I want it as light as possible so I can adjust the weight to my liking which is still not to my total liking yet. I got a few new ideas and design looks and as it is I will probably fiddle around with the weighting over the winter and it might be made completely different by next year. These are the first bunch and I don't think they are the final design or material yet but they could be. P.

Those ought to work for you to catch the funny fish.

How about trying on out of titanium? make it real light and thin that way, I know, expensive......

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Paul, what if you glue or epoxy (devcon 2 ton or something) in the grommets before wiring, so that the glue acts as a buffer between the grommet and the paint so it doesn't chip. Once the epoxy is set, the grommets won't move when you wire it so the paint should not get chipped by the movement of the grommet..

Just an idea...
