  The step-spacer thing reminds me of a website I saw of a girl doing =
the exact same thing to her rocc. She made a website detailing the =
procedure and had pictures of the spacer she had machined. It sounded =
like it was much better quality than the one you mentioned. Does anyone =
know what I'm talking about? I think I saw this website from =
scirocco.org but I don't remember.
