Outstanding buy...My first one was $300 and the second one $400. The die-cast metal is very fragile making the tang below the wing tips that fits through the cap top and was peened over...very very fragile. One of mine did break and we used a serious metal adhesive to reconnect it, With the help of a fine machinist, I tried everything else and decided to use the glue, and not mount the cap for driving.

Good luck.
