Lookin good
And yeah. Figured out that the gaiter is sandwiched between mating faces of knob and shaft shoulder. Any nasty movement in the gaiter? Or is it nice and secure?

It fits well, just drops on when I have tapped the holes and put the grub screws it that won't go anywhere.

Can you get coloured (or rather, anodised) material at similar cost? Eg: could you make one in a chrome-like red or something?
Not to everyones taste, but I have this currently:
£6.99 from eBay
But would like something better, but in red to keep with my current styling

You can't anodize stainless steel I'm afraid but you could get it sprayed.

Just to let you all know my aim is to have these shipped on Saturday.
But I am using my works machine so if anything comes up that is priority.
If you have claimed one and have not let me know the engraving on the top please pm me asap.

Quick question: how long is the shaft that protrudes above the gaiter (ie when you remove the knob, how much shaft is there)?
