I was going to say about the crack, but wasn't sure if it was a casting mark

Could well be, just the flash of the camera picking it up, but I would still have a damn good look and maybe get it removed, as it is sure to be a stress raiser

I would too Will......I got abit carried away with stuff like that and ended up mirror polishing my standard rods, along with balancing and weight matching them. Didnt cost me anything to do so why not
