If you had no intent to hijack maybe you should have just kept your fingers off the keyboard then.
Sure.. machines can offer much easier repeatability but with skill and dilligence that pole has his will flow with the best of them. If he wants to spend 2-3 hours a peice and he thinks that's profitable to him then make your own group buy for cheaper and then everyone will buy yours... until then get your TB's flowed and prove they are better or keep your mouth shut.

As Pete said very unnecessary 
You basically need to take you own advice�I don't think you will be using any of these on you WRX so why are you even in this post other then to run your mouth  What product, advice, service or help have you provided CEG ? I don't need to prove anything to you as I don't need your business, those that know me know the quality of my work. I have done/been part of several valuable and successful group buys and have been providing CEG with both mounting plates for the Steeda Tri/Ax short shifters for the last couple of years. I have been doing machine work for the past 27 years so I do know a little about what I am saying and doing. I respect Josh a great deal for what he does and I'm sure he knows that if not before, he does now. So mind you own business unless you have something beneficial to offer TROLL

I've noticed this, and was looking into a 90degree 30%reduced height fastener, but can only locate them in standard thread, no metric.
In addition i was only able to locate standard thread for 100 degree screws.
So in both cases(90 or 100 degree) i'm stuck with what i've got at the moment untill i can locate a supplier for either of the two options, it works well but i am on the lookout for another method.
Can you help me out with locating these fasteners?

open the holes up for the next standard thread (10-32) with a #21 drill (.059) and tap...problem solved. The screw head is ~0.040 bigger in diameter then the originals screws but with the 100 deg. flat head it is not a problem. Or...you could stay on the smaller side (8-32) and and drill the holes out for locking helicoils instead. Both will work just fine and are easily obtained at most hardeware suppliers.

I, for one, vow for Scott's skill, knowledge and quality work. He is very sincere, and I really think his intension was to provide a discussion from the technical point of view.

Thanks Rick but I agree with Josh...
nice work on the shaft Josh...make sure to use RED Loctite on those screws. Prety much the same look I get with mine..I wouldn't go any lower on the shaft, that is plenty.

I don't think quality is problem between the 2 of you guys.
I understand where scott is coming from about chucking up the TB in lathe and tapering out the bores. It will be much more concentric and smooth. Nothing against Josh if he could do it that way he'd be doing it too.

Josh,
This is definitely not toward you. I said that in response to Barge's not-so-kind comments. If my post made you feel that I was saying only Scott does quality work but not you, I apologize, because that was never the intension. I've seen your TB's pics and they are great.
Rick
