We don't have any planned trips to Madison in the near future. I
actually purchased a 90-degree metric countersink that worked. Thanks
for the offer.

ISP West had the thrust rings listed, but were out-of-stock. I
submitted a "wish list" request. I'm also following up on some
contacts on theSamba.com that Phil Hof had suggested.

Will do.

Thanks,
