Toadtorrent Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Thanks a million ... and: Great t i t s you got there Oliver Just in case...remember to shave from the threaded end that screws into the crown. It's been discussed here a few times, the mistake of shaving from the "insertion" end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Carefully....and in small bites! You will need to file the threads clean (burr free) to rethread to the crown. Offshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I use a dremel and cut off wheel. Make sure to hold the stem very close to the end your are shaving. And as was stated earlier... You shorten it from the THREADED side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
