Looking good so far. Love the attention to detail, keep up the good work.

Also, I might be seeing things, but that extender arm on the jay kit looks half the length of all three kits I have, 2 for my 1g 1 aluminum 1 steel and the other is a 2g kit. Or is it just the picture?

God bless,

Drew is the man. Very knowledgeable when it comes to DSMs and he's a real good tuner.
