You know I haven't looked at a copy of that in ages no wonder I didn't recognize the print ...... I'm getting old........

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

I like the wood bars that you're using for elevation. Neat system.

Owen,

Google grinding balls and find suppliers in Australia.  You need 42.8 mm for golf ball size.  A 42 or 43mm should work as long as you have windage in your bore.
