   Wow, genius like that I usually only see among the Cajun's engineering
back home in La.  I am gonna take a look at some bolts, today.   The
obsessive in
me wants to think that the sliding weight can be perfectly aligned with the
direction of the hole, etc.  but I suppose I can grind the nose of the grips
to
match  the pin.
I'll let yall know what happens, next month, I guess.
