    Yeah, this is _exactly_ where I'm thinking a custom lottery could have some merit.

    Some will only want one specific knob (e.g. AT copolymer)
    Some might want any knob for their truck (e.g. MT anything)
    Some might be in between (MT and would be happy with Al or SS but don't want to pay for Ti and don't want poly, maybe even specific v2/v3 preferences)

    Granted the permutations available this time are not extreme but assuming the fairness doctrine dictates that nobody should get 2 knobs while demand exceeds supply, it becomes a little bit complicated chasing down the most equitable distribution path for people who are flexible about which type of knob they want.

    A custom lottery wouldn't take much work to write (1h max?). I'd be willing to share source code and offer full transparency. But the only way that works is with anonymized and structured input data.

    I’m starting to think this broken collarbone was part of your plan to install yours before mine. :devil:

    I have some if you want a single pair. I’m only running them on the passenger side. I guess I have short legs as I like stock height for driver.

    I'd like to get both sides, I saw them on Etsy awhile ago, maybe he stopped there.

    Yep, I only stopped those to focus on the knobs. Once I get these last 10 knobs out ... those are next (solid aluminum version).

    Awesome, both 1/2" and 1" versions would be great, I think that's what you did last time. Thx Rick

    Yep, 1" and 1.5" (1" + 1/2" extension) is going to be my normal for Etsy, and what I will stock bolts for. I have a new way of making them to cover basically any size from 1/2" all the way up to 2.2" rise, but that will only be offered here on TW.

    Kinda feels like Christmas in June today. Keeping my fingers crossed one of you vultures don't make me have to fight you to get one of these on my AT.

    I think we all thought this was going to happen, which is probably why it DIDN'T happen ... haha.
