Thanks ray. I cant get it to move in any direction (up down side to side) except only a very tiny amount in and out, even that might be imagination it's so small
Here are a couple of pics of the race again. They still don't show the shiny surface well. it's smooth as a baby's butt inside. there are no scuffs, scratches, or anything on the outside either besides the texturing on the base where the screws go.
also theres black spots where I oversprayed with ospho. i'll get that polished off when I can work on it again. it comes off with a fingernail.
