I've seen a couple people do that and I really like it. That is how it was designed. The part was too complex to build as one piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted April 23, 2018 Share #14 Posted April 23, 2018 Yeah, that's what I figured. I was guessing that they just couldn't expect the metal to stretch enough to make them in one shot, and the tooling would have been too complicated anyway, so they split up the assembly into multiple parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
