[CW] Speed-X 114-520 feet

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Grant,

So if you were to do it again, you'd leave the retaining rings?

The 2B Radio Parts rubber bumpers have a large hole?  That's what it
looked like and it confused me.

Could you clarify your advice so if others want to do this, they can
do the best thing.

Thank you, and I guess you're happy!
