I wonder if the Back ones will be like that?

If not I would think you want one of these.

Makes sense.  I'm hoping my shop will let me order a few extras without fronting the money first!  We'll see.

Oh Uwe, I still have you down for 4.  Thanks!

I'm pretty sure I said I wanted either two or three. Whatever you have down, I'm still in. BTW, it looks GREAT!

Yep, I have you down for two George.  If I make some extras, I'll let you know.

Are these CNC machined or hand tooled?

I talked to my machinist and he said 3 weeks for the tailpieces.  So, in about 2 weeks I'll be hitting you all that want 'em up for payment.  I'll be in touch!

Here's an update.  The pieces are cut from the stainless stock and will be grooved and drilled this week.  Then, off to the nickel plater's after that.  I'll keep you all posted as to their progress. 

Here's the unfinished prototype mounted on my NR.............
