paulscade:
A few things that I wanted to mention...
U360:
I fully agree with the recommendations of going with the harder spring for this stick. It really does feel much better. With most everyone recommending this upgrade, this stick should really be sold with the heavier spring... and have the light spring as the option (but I suppose that wouldn't bring the vendor an extra 8 bucks. ;) )
The dust washer on the U360 needed to be filed out a bit in the center hole. I'm not using a restricter... and because of the amount of throw on this stick, the dust washer wanted to "tilt" a little when the stick is fully pressed to one side. It tilted instead of sliding around because of the thickness of the washer and the tight tolerance of the center hole. I couldn't have this happening as my dust washers are under the CPO. Filing out the center hole fixed the problem.
Martijn:
nice work and tutorial, i also have the u360 and ordered extra stiff springs and circular restrictor plates.
in a week of 2/3 i will install the cp and your guide made me think of a few things :D
your almost there , keep it up !
NipRing:
I'm really REALLY interested in hearing your opinion of the Mag-Stick Plus. Its on the top of my list for my cab. Its simplicity and versatility are what i'm impressed by, however i've found few reviews on them as those were not all positive. Your project looks great by the way.

Paul,
The CP is looking great and excellent detail in the documentation of the process. This is why I have found your thread one of the most helpful on the board.
It is looking great!
