RE: Post pics of your custom work
I have all those except the drill press. I didn't take as much time as I could of on the filing, but I did do a lot of it. Look at the second picture compared to the fourth picture. That is all filing.
I didn't take the time to get out and set up my jigsaw, I took a hacksaw off the pegboard and started cutting. I don't think the jigsaw is necessary for this. Anyway, if I go to power tools for cutting metal, I usually get carried away and go straight to the sawzall.
If I wanted, I could go all out and file some more and polish and maybe even anodize this bad boy, but I really wanted to just replace the part and get out and drive it.
Just to let you know, I made the mistake of running without the body to see how cool the electronics stayed. That is the first time and the last time I will run my recoil without the body.
