I had to check back on the price I stated, it just sounded too cheap but it's been a while. I found the eBay sale that I saved and it was actually in November last year and i was the only bidder, it sold for $135 and $10 shipping. (Not bad at all in my book)
As for the modding, well I probably should have taken some pics of the progress but instead I just jumped right into it.
All that was really required was to use a carbide bur grinding bit in a dremel tool to grind the lug holes lower.
Then I mixed up some JB Weld and just filled the holes with it, and placed the band with the spring bar in it back into position on the lugs.
I let that set up for 48 hours. Everything is in place and very tight
