When they get turned they will more than likely be below spec and have to be replaced anyway! Clean and lube the slide pins well! -Andy Andy Watson '99 Silver SVT #2397\| DOB 07/29/99 Graci!

Or you will warp them again! -Andy Andy Watson '99 Silver SVT #2397\| DOB 07/29/99 Graci! American Iron Shoot Out - Event Promoter! Check it out, we need your input!
