sorry, that would go against my irresistable compulsion to over-engineer everything.  ::)

i don't have any machinist friends, and walking in the front door of a reputable machine shop with a small order, i'm paying time and materials, which could get expensive, so i'd rather not make any extras, sorry.

btw, i measured my slikstik p360 shafts, and they're thicker than the stock p360 shafts. the stock shafts measure 0.368 and the slikstik shafts measure 0.373, so i've bumped up the inside diameter for the actuators i'm ordering to 0.375, which is what the stock p360 actuators are, as far as i can tell.

FYI, here's what i've ordered from a local machine shop:

P360 actuators are supposed to block light- that's why they're black.  Stainless *may* reflect it and give you odd directional signals.  You may have to paint the pretty stainless a boring black!

apparently kowal used stainless successfully.

i'll have them do a matte surface, rather than bright polished, and i'll probably go over them with a black sharpie, as you suggested above.

dpz147:
I'd be interested in your feedback.  When do you anticipate receiving them?

If they are that much better, I'm sure people would be willing to pay for them...I know I would.

RobotronNut:
i expect to receive them in a week.
