my BKBT RF stalks came in, and fit perfectly. as a testament to the quality of his work, his match the MR within a millimeter or two overall!
i also replaced the MR style borden connector with a real one
i sanded off the plating to reveal the brass inside. drilled a 1/2 hole, fit the new one in, filled the edges and touched up the grey paint around it, with a little grey on the borden itself. again with the lousy pics... i need to stop doing this stuff in a rush before work
