Tom,

They wrap around pretty good, I am hopeful that they might work better than the old style I tried first.

I know what you mean about the width. I may be wrong, but to fit/clear the lugs on the pads I made them as wide as the base of the lug plus the width of the side walls of the tumbler.

Thought I was going to be testing by now but I busted off a 6-32 tap in the tumbler and screwed it up trying to get it out. Darn I hate breaking taps!

I have a replacement half finished, but got sidetracked the rest of the day getting camping gear ready for the trip out to Brownsville.

With any luck I will get to try one side Sunday.

Jim
