Cool... but isn't is supposed to be facing the other direction? I guess it can go any way you want, in the grand scheme of things! :D

Sorry for not getting back to you, I just looked through and say your post,
I actually picked the **** and leather boot up at a place called Mitsuwa, in Edgewater, NJ. Believe it or not it's a supermarket....
They have a small auto store within and sometimes have some cool stuff.
It was a direct swap from the stock, only thing I needed to do was trim the leather boot so it fit properly.

^^^^^^^^^^^
NOW it was serious. A double-dog-dare. What else was there but a "triple dare ya"? And then, the coup de grace of all dares, the sinister triple-dog-dare.

...a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the triple dare and going right for the throat!

I have a question about the black Delrin... Is it the same weight as the regular *****? I have a friend that is selling his MINI and is parting it out. He has a Black Whalen **** but he says it is Aluminum... How can I tell? It looks really nice...

It looks like this but in a brushed black color...

I don't recall ever making a ball-shaped **** out of aluminum. However, I'm getting on in years, and my memory is on its way out.

I've made a few round ones from Delrin, though. They're not very heavy; around five ounces. My stainless steel ones weigh eighteeen ounces.
