Hmm, I thought stainless had few or no sparks, and chrome moly lots of sparks.
Mainly I'm just trying to prove that these spacers are stainless, they're
non-magnetic, and have the
look and feel of stainless too. Initially he said he would make them from mild
cold rolled steel,
then said they were chrome moly when I picked them up. I didn't measure them
when I picked them up
(trust you know), but they were wrong when I measured them at home, and are
probably stainless to
boot. :o(
IMO he's the type to twist and wiggle when it's his mistake, so I want my facts
to be solid when
next I talk to him.
