Potential Security Risk Ahead

That's a website warning from your anti virus protection.

I received it on another thread I tried replying to on another thread here on this site also...
maybe my computer has a glitch. (Although this reply had no issue.)

he let his certificate expire...yesterday in fact.

Ahh, OK, I thought that might have been the case. Hope he intends to continue production since I've paid for an adapter a month ago.

hopefully if I call on the phone and convince him of what a nice guy I am...he'll put me in the queue .

[Madcap]

Let me know if he answers the phone....

LOL...you sound like you've already predicted my future.

His website is back up - I feel a bit of relief over that. Three months more to go for the adapter and shield...maybe less with some luck.

I finally decided to try bending one of the flats with just a hammer and a couple short lengths of steel pipe. It took some time and effort but it didn't turn out too bad.

It needs some final adjustments including the obvious "bow". The left side holes got misaligned when I absentmindedly reversed my template but considering everything else it came out OK ...sort of.

"Dimples" on both sides between holes #7-8 (counted from rear) need to be applied and a final version may be ceracoated or parkerized to match the adapter.

My sincere gratitude to rccathy for his generosity in providing these to experiment with.

That really doesn’t look terrible at all.
I think you get there with a couple more practice attempts.

This is a fun project, for sure. Laser cutting, 3D printing, and other modern manufacturing techniques have a lot of promise to help our hobby!
