oosik, I can't open those pictures you just posted.

I noticed - they went from icon size to text. I can open them but its probably because the originals are loaded on my computer. It could be that the combination of the four pics is just to large - each pic is 1.5MB to 1.7MB. It will take me a little bit but I will use my software and resize them and see if that helps. Back in 30.

OK - back like a dirty sock. The four pics have been resized to 500kb.

Must have just been that the originals were too big.

That is nice work. Don't know if I could build one that nice. But I am sure I can make something for weight. That doesn't have to be pretty.

bbse - come on man. Its not that hard. All I did was tack expanded metal onto the existing OEM guard. Really it was tedious, not hard. Every one of the contact points had to be tacked on and I did it in a zig-zag pattern - in case there was going to be any heat expansion - and there wasn't any. The "tongue" was made up, off the guard, on a flat table top and then tacked on in place.

I initially thought to paint the tongue RED - but as I thought about it - - that would be just too much.
