[NSRCA-discussion] Pletty 30-10 advance installation ???

[W Anthony Abdullah]

I thought about doing that, but how would I accurately add down and/or right thrust if/when I need it?

If I was to find short rubber spacers there would still be a width problem as there is no flush surface inside the nose ring to mount them to.
