    Nah, those are seat spacers. @tonered designed them, and I make them from time to time (so can you if ya want).

    HAha I thought it could be a depth perception being closer to the camera.
    Super trick!
    I agree the young generation is just not into machining, which is sad and seems to be a dying industry.

    Also, I'm feeling like my first post is pretty TL;DR. Anyone have advice on how I could structure that better? Or is it actually okay, and I just need to quit overthinking?

    I have been updating it non stop, and it is basically impossible (for me) to find a healthy balance between readability and throwing down all of the established options.

    Most tend to come to me with a picture and we work from there. The only thought I have is to post pictures of each popular configuration, then give them individual names like "The Herpaderp" or something ... with only a price attached. Doable, but that just makes me feel like I am slowly turning into everybody else who makes knobs.

    I think the first post is great. It isn't that long, just big pics, which are just fine also.

    Maybe it's just the German side of me that is hung up. "If it is reader friendly, there isn't enough information or details!"

    I cut the number of pictures down a while ago, then slowly I started adding even more than I originally had into that post in the form of clickable links ... haha.

    I don't know, but I think you just named one of the knob configurations. Herpaderp, Uggadugga, okay what else?

    OP you do amazing work. Would any of your Delrin models (spec. the Delrin w/stainless core) come in white? Ive seen black, but was curious if a white option was doable, even if for more $$$???

    Also, do the knobs vary in height? Some of the pictures look like some models are "taller" than others? Curious about a few options before I buy.

    Thanks!

    The only natural delrin I have (looks white, but is actually no pigment and opaque) in stock is too small in diameter for a knob. Suppose I could order material and make it easily enough, but it would be a nightmare trying to keep it clean throughout the process. If anything gets down into the engraving or threads, it is near impossible to clean it out to a satisfactory level. I do not want to do it just because of the additional time/effort it would take to clean it before shipping.

    The knobs are close to the same height as stock (within 1/4" or so), with the exception of the custom Ti knob I made for @salmonmigration. That one is maybe 1/2" higher, possibly a little more.

    I'm just curious about the collar thing. Is it aesthetic only? My oem threads all the way and mates to the boot fine, no collar on it.
    Like, I wanna thread off the OEM, replace with yours, and then slob on the new knob.
