    Thumbs up Starks Custom Machinery R case saver

    Finally got the new case saver. Looks pretty nice. Not sure I like the brushed finish though. Think I should polish it?

    He should have plenty of these in stock now by the way. Link.

    I already polished it.

    First time I ever did any aluminum polishing. Could probably stand to hit it with the 2000 grit a little longer.

    D'oh!

    Just went to put the thing on and realized a socket won't fit in the recessed holes to tighten it down. Did you switch to allen type bolts or something?

    Mine came highly polished (he must not offer them that way any more) and I dont recall any problems installing it.

    Perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things, but in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.

    I wouldn't call it a problem. My socket just don't fit. The case saver fits exactly the way it's supposed to. No complaints.

    Less than $30 I think. Pretty reasonable.
