Cool. Thanks for the Devcon suggestion Dennis.

Part of the reason I hesitate to do the repair is that I'm installing

as part of this project. I didn't measure wear at the half moon face
but would guess it's about 1 mm.

I'll be curious to see what West Systems response is to Stevens email.

Neil.
