ahh, thanks. yes 1.5" is about how my current setup is at so it's okay.

well, people like me dont worry. we just do it. you go as far as you can go and if you get stuck you look around for solutions. if all fails, you revert back to where you started.

Modding is not for wimps!

Websters says: To make basic or fundamental changes, often to give a new orientation to, or to serve a new end. The making of a limited change in something.

Playing with new parts often requires thinking along these lines....
