Dang that's good. I'm gonna wet myself.
I have an NA. I have NB hats, do I get NB HDsports? Or should I do NA HD and drill the hats (diy FMC hats)?
Forgot I was on mt.net. Give me a second to get my flamesuit on before replying to my dumb questions. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like something slightly off-topic that should be discussed in a PM, fwiw.

What material is the piston made from? Rubber? Metal? I can't tell by looking at the photos.
